Description:

Manufactured in 1966 with standard markings and features. It also features a brass plaque in the right side of the stock that reads "HON. OTTO KERNER/GOVERNOR/STATE OF ILLINOIS/On The Occasion Of/WINCHESTER-WESTERN/CENTENNIAL/AT NILO/MARCH 22, 1966". Otto Kerner was the governor of Illinois from 1961 to 1968 and was convicted in 1973 of bribery related charges, a conviction which was rumored to be politically motivated for President Richard Nixon.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 99% original finished with a few light handling marks. The stock is very fine with a series of fine cracks that appear to only be in the varnish of the stock near the butt, possibly due to the installation of the plaque. Mechanically excellent.
