There are a couple of nice ones on gunsinternational.com  One nice 44-40 with Lyman 56 sight. Also a deluxe 53 in 25-20. A pretty hard to find gun.

Dane, thanks. Had seen those previously. Thought I’d test the waters and see what other members may have available.

Thank-you.

I have a 4 digit serial numbered solid frame 44 wcf. It has 80% blue on the frame. The barrel has almost all the blue. Real nice wood. It has a Marbles rear sight that looks to have been there most of its life. I’ll try to get a few pictures up tomorrow if You are interested.

Serial # 3728 (1925). It is a 32 W.C.F, steel shotgun butt, solid frame with nickel steel barrel and is 97-98%. It is original and correct in all respects (has a Lyman Middlefield disc tang sight with the locking mechanism which I believe is correct for the period and looks original to the gun but you never know – I have never removed it). It has excellent wood and wood to metal fit, a perfect bore and no buggered screws. The butt plate has some minor pitting which I believe was caused by sitting on a concrete floor at some point. I have had it about 40 years and bought it from a collector who had owned it for a long time – it has not been in an auction or on the gun show circuit. You don’t see a Model 53 with this kind of blue anymore (especially on the receiver). If interested send me a PM and I can get you more pictures.  Burtmodel53.JPGImage Enlarger

Deerhunter, thank-you. Will look into it. I actually prefer to buy from WACA members if possible as these members are great individuals. Thank-you.
