Just wanted to share this nice find with you all.
I went to a local gun show (5.7 miles from my door) yesterday morning and the usual vendors were in attendance with not much in the way of fine Doubles except for some very interesting guns at the tables of Dick and Craig of Wildwood Guns in Maine.
This show is predominated by militaria, black weapons, all sorts of shooting accoutrements to say nothing of the jerky hawkers. This show is at the Shriner's auditorium and I can usually walk the show and see what I want to see in about forty-five minutes or so.
At the back of the hall on a somewhat obscure table and mixed in with four or five Springfield M-1 .30-'06 Garandes was this sweet little Winchester Model 90 .22 W.R.F. "special order" youth's gun. It is about 32 1/2" overall length with a barrel length of 16" and a LOP of about 12 3/4". The bore is dandy and the barrel has most of its original blue. It is in really nice shape and everything works well with no slop or wiggle. There are the normal nicks and dings to the wood but otherwise it is a beauty.
I resisted the temptation to buy it yesterday but thinking of it this morning and last night just got the better of me so I went back this afternoon and
it was still there...
It came home with me for my Grandkids.
What is the going price for a Winchester Letter?
