2020 September Premier, Volume I

"Barrel engraved
like 1 of 1000"
During its early years it was the main stage line carrying passengers during the California Gold Rush and went on to serve
the widely successful silver mines in Nevada. According to his obituary, Stone’s association with the company made him
“one of the most widely known men on the coast.” Stone died in 1912 at the age of 82.
CONDITION: Very good, retaining 70% faded period refinished blue finish with some very scattered light pitting. Patterns of
case colors remain on the hammer and lever. The engraving and inscription are crisp. The wood is also very good with minor
dings and scratches and some worn checkering. The set trigger does not function, otherwise action cycles properly. An
interesting inscribed Model 1873 with factory documented like 1 of 1,000 barrel scroll engraving that will be a welcomed
addition to any Winchester or Old West collection.
Estimate: 18000 - 27500
