Adolph Vancinghand, SASS #28923 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 And I thought I hung the moon when I snagged a virtually new 1954 model! That ain't a shotgun...that's a time machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Law Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Dang, I was trying to get this. Unfortunately I just spent all my extra funds getting my little guy set up for SASS. I have a 1939 Winchester 94 in 32 Winchester Special that's still in the original box with 2 full boxes of 1939 32 WS SilverTip ammo. That was the first year of the Silvertip. I got that rifle 33 years ago, when I was only 20, in trade from the daughter of the original buyer for gutting out his dilapidated old house after he passed away. I found it stuffed in a corner closet in a room that was wall to wall old newspapers and mags from the past 30 years (wish I knew then what those are worth today). The gun was still in the original mint condition box, unfired, and it is still that way to this very day. It has the original price tag dangling from the lever along with the original hand written receipt. About 20 years ago I loaned it and the ammo to Winchester for a few months. They put it on display at their museum showing their history. That's really the only time is hasn't been stored away. I got it appraised a long time ago and the empty ammo boxes were worth as much as the gun was then and mine boxes are actually full of the original ammo. This unfired 97 would have made a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I don't know how, but my neighbor sold a military Win. 97 trench gun that had something ground off the receiver just behind the hammer and reblued. He got 4K for it and the guy seemed ecstatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not asking, actual bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
