    Well, 26 bids so far, but according to the seller, they're all "bottom-feeders".

    An advanced collector with lots of money will meet up with that rifle some day. If you've got lots of dollars price is a moot point. Single caliber, octagon barrel, beautiful condition with a nice picture box, it's been a couple of days since I've seen one. I wouldn't about try to put a price on it.

    It looks like that to me as well, O-C, it is apparent that the wood has some minor handling marks. Finding a 75 year old piece like this one in such excellent and in its box though is rare, I'd think.

    That's just 'up the road' (or at least I know where Goodells is).

    You fellas want me to take a road trip to see about the "dent and scratch"?

    Who's got the deep pockets?

However, with the handling marks and that rust patch on the magazine feed tube (pictures 22 & 23); I just don't see that one being worth more than the $5,001 bid; even with the rarity and the goodies! However, Winchester 22's aren't my thing! [:D]
