Produced in 1886, shipped in 1887, stowed away for nearly 90 years, and kept in the family for half a century more, this Winchester 1886 has quite the tale to tell.
Uncovered in the 1970s by the grandchildren of the original buyer, this miraculously mint Winchester had remained in its original crate and scabbard, untouched, with boxes of original ammunition. It’s the type of lever action collectors dream of.
