Extremely Rare and Possibly Unique English Cased Winchester Model 1906 Slide Action Rifle with Factory Letter

The accompanying factory letter states the serial number was applied on October 6, 1908. It has the standard two line "MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO./NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A. PAT. JUNE 26, 88. DEC. 6. 92, NOV. 27. 06." marking on top of the barrel in front of the rear sight, followed by "MOD. 1906." in larger letters. The caliber marking "22 SHORT-LONG/OR LONG RIFLE" is on the left side of the barrel at the rear, below the Winchester proofmark. There is also a Winchester proofmark on the frame adjacent to the one on the barrel. A Rampant Lion proofmark appears on the barrel below the caliber marking, on the left side of the frame and at the top left of the breechblock. The Model 30A adjustable rear sight has the "-PAT. JAN. 29. 1901.-" marking. The blade on a dovetail base front sight is marked "PAT. / NOV. 4. 1902." on the right side of the base. The upper tang of the receiver has the standard three line trademark information and the lower tang has the serial number along with a second number "2130" probably added in England. The hard rubber buttplate has the standard "WINCHESTER - TRADE - MARK-" circle in the center. The buttplate screw heads are engraved in a flower pattern, definitely a British treatment. The deep brown leather takedown case has the initials "M.G.B." embossed in the top in black. The case has a leather carrying handle and a plated snaplock. The case is lined with green baize and has an "F. BEESLEY" label in the lid. The label lists extensive claims including "Inventor and Patentee of Purdey's Hammerless Gun". He was located at "2 St James Street, Pall Mall Corner" the heart of London's gun trade. Includes a box of Lesmok .22 Short cartridges and Lyman tang sight with box.

ConditionExcellent 98% bright finish remains with a few minor scuffs and dings and the faintest of spotting on the receiver and tangs. The wood is also excellent with scattered light dings. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with some scuffing on the outside corners, tears from the sights on the interior lining, and partially detached handle. There is also light moth damage inside the lid. A rare and desirable English cased Winchester Model 1906 slide action rifle.
