Very nice!
I've got one my sister gave to me made in the 1890's in .32 caliber, she found it in the trash at an old house being renovated.
She figures someone found it under the house and threw it out, it was completely covered with chunks of rust and pieces of an old blanket someone wrapped it up in maybe 100 years ago.
Took me about 8 hours to clean it up and although it will never work again it's a great display piece.

Yeah BUT that would be a great piece to just play around with, maybe electrolysis?

RJ, Nice Wichester.
Sad to see a nice Winchester end up like that Weapons Collector. But it's nice to see you salvaged it as much as possible.

Very nice. Continental had one earlier this year when I was shopping for one, unfortunately they thought it was the exact one that won the west and had it priced accordingly.

Yeah they tend to hold onto their stock for awhile . They had/have a Enfield No4 mk2 for $1400 I almost choke when I saw that . If that is the going rate Ill sell all of mine lol . I was getting them in the wrap from the shows a bunch of years ago for if memory serves around $150 -200.

I believe their 1873 was a .38, common vintage around 1885 or so, and priced at $2500 with gray patina. :thumbsdown:
