About Us: Antique Collector since 1985. I also have a few modern items that will require a FFL or C&R license. No exceptions. Happy collecting and investing in a product that continues to rise as material and labor costs rise. And the labor force becomes less about quality. China and Mexico items just don’t seem to last.


Description:
Sold !!!!   Factory engraved Winchester 1873 44-40
Set trigger.  $2.00. Engraving.  I had bought 4 of these about 25 years ago. They all went to a ranch in Montana.  There was 2 engraved with set triggers and 2 just regular octagon rifles.  Cody said in the ledger they were all listed together and went to a ranch in Montana.  
The speculation was,  a father and his son got the engraved guns and maybe a couple ranch foremen got the regular ones.  I still have the 2 engraved guns.  Selling one.   She has seen some use.  Still has a very good bore.  I've shot it.  Functions very good.  Can't remember how well it groups.   With condition of the bore I'm guessing groups well.  I certainly don't mind shooting it if someone gets serious about it.
$7500.   Reduced $6800
