These are not for sale on line; I can't do that. But I was so excited to actually get this pair I had to blog about it. Over the past 8 or so years I have had only 1 other of the carbines that Winchester did in this John Wayne tribute/commemorative series back in 1981. That one I donated to the Rich Zarringer charity shoot our great friends at Rocky Mountain Natural Meats puts on each year. Others I have bid on went way way higher than I was willing to go.
From the auction house website: "Winchester Model 94 John Wayne 1 of 300 Matched Set of Commemorative Large Loop Saddle Ring Carbines, #JWDM217/JWM217, .32-40 Win. cal., 18" barrels, both carbines are in excellent overall condition and appear unfired: 1) #JWDM217 features a blued barrel, burnished gold receiver, large loop lever and barrel bands. Receiver is roll engraved with a stagecoach scene on the left side and cattle herding scene on the right. The scenes are bordered with the names of John Wayne's films. The saddle ring is retained, and the right side of the barrel is etched."
This pair does not come with the boxes .... no idea of where they went but they were not available. So, these will come with walnut hardwood display stands .... and a couple boxes of the John Wayne 32-40 cal bullets.
There is some conflicting info on the various John Wayne Commemorative Rifles from Winchester, so I have ordered the definitive authority publication. However, it looks like this pair sold for $12,000 back in 1982.
If anyone is interested (and they are priced south of that for sure), give me a call!
