Lot 1
Winchester 1873 Rifle 44 WCF
This rifle is engraved to the exact specifications found on a true factory 1 of 1000. The platinum barrel bands, script "One of One Thousand", the muzzle engraving, the checkered deluxe stock are all of the quality of the original factory One of One thousands. This Winchester was made to match an existing 1 of 1000 right down to the serial number which matches a factory 1 of 1000 shipped February 20th 1878. The work is so good it fooled the top experts in the world for nearly half a century. This particular rifle is pictured and described in the definitive work on 1 of 1000's "Winchester: The Golden Age of American Gun and the Winchester 1 of 1000" by R.L. Wilson! The gun was first suspected of being a copy by Richard Ellis one of the worlds top authorities on firearms. Richard pointed out slight nuance differences from that of an original 1 of 1000 but the serial number gave away the transformation of this truly outstanding original deluxe First Model 1873 Rifle. The number is not consistent with the balance of the gun. When we first received the gun we actually advertised it for a premier auction and through the vetting process became aware of another 1 of 1000 with the same serial number. We now have the definitive proof that this is a copy. It's hard to ignore decades of acceptance and verification, by known firearms experts. And most importantly that it came from a known outstanding gun collection that represented the utmost balance of quality, condition and rarity. However as Richard has taught many at RIA to trust our instinct, someone went to great lengths to create the finest copy ever of a 1 of 1000 by using a truly outstanding deluxe 1873 casehardened rifle. This rifle is being sold as that, "a copy" of a Winchester 1 of 1000.

Unknown Target Carbine 44 Henry
This is a copy of a Henry Rifle configured/cut to the rare and highly sought after carbine length. While very little is known about Henry carbines factory documentation does suggest that a few guns were indeed manufactured in carbine lengths and designated for military testing or as prototypes. Nickel silver blade front and 900 yard folding leaf rear sight. The barrel has been skillfully cut down and properly stamped "HENRY'S PAT. OCT. 16.1860./ MANFUFACT'D BY THE NEWHAVEN ARMS CO. NEWHAVEN CT." The matching serial number is marked on the upper barrel flat just ahead of the receiver, on the inside of the buttplate tang, in the upper tang inlet of the stock and on the left side of the lower tang. The barrel sleeve is marked with the assembly number "768", "W" factory inspection mark is stamped on the lower tang behind the lever latch and there is a "C" stamped on the left side of the lower tang ahead of the serial number. There are only about 4 Henry carbines known to exist. This carbine has been skillfully manufactured to be nearly identical to a standard production Henry rifle with exception to the carbine length barrel.
