 THE WINCHESTER BOOK
by George Madis
This up-to-date book is full of information needed by all collectors.
This is the most complete book furnishing information on engraving of any gun book. You will find names, photos and different patterns of all previously unknown engravers and those known to work for Winchester.
Full details on Winchester pistols—thousands of these were made. Here are the specifications and photos of the Revolvers made by O.F. Winchester before the Henry rifle. These revolvers are still begging for buyers. How about the single shot and the automatic pistols by Winchester? They are all in this edition.
Over 2,000 variations for all collectors’ models from 1849 to the present are detailed and all lever actions are also covered in detail.
Up-to-date information you must know, from the pre-Winchester Volcanics to the pre-64 Model 94 and Model 70, complete coverage of all collectors Winchesters.
Manufacturing dates per year—now you can find the year your guns were made. Rarity tables, for instance, 1 of each 1,600 Model 73’s has plating and 1 of each 1,200 Model 92’s has special long barrel.
The information covered will make most Winchesters go even higher in price than the first edition did in 1961. It is still the biggest, still the best, and still the only book on Winchesters sold with a guarantee.
