In our 2017 May Premiere Firearms Auction, two icons emerge in the field of Winchester firearm Collecting.
The first Winchester Firearm is a factory engraved, gold-plated Winchester “1 of 1,000.” The collector firearm is the only one known in its original condition and with two panel scenes. An instant collection definer for anyone interested in old guns and antique firearms.
The second, the iconic “On the Rocky Mountains” Winchester firearm. This exhibition grade rifle is the only Ulrich factory panel scene engraved Winchester 1866 with a maple stock. From the revered Robert M. Lee Collection, this is the piece de resistance of the famed and documented series of 1866 exhibition rifles in the 79,000 serial number range.
Watch the video to find out the history behind these two gorgeous collector Winchester firearms.
