Any guesses on this one?

If the one with the incorrect heat shield brought $8000, what's this going to go for?

The seller is Rick Crosier of Waddy Kentucky.
He deals in very high end military arms.
A realistic price for a gun like that should be $5-6K, in my opinion.
However, you never know. Some idiot agreed to pay $8k for the other one, watch this one go for $2500

$10,000 is my guess. Looks like a righteous gun. The seller has a great reputation. Sgt. you are back in the 80's when we both had fantastic collections. Big Larry

Rick does come across some nice collections.
This one will bring 5500- 6k.
There are some flaws......under the end on the heatshield the barrel has a series of small dents.
And the front bayo swivel squashed in on the sides,possible replacement.
Still a nice example.

The figure in that buttstock is beautiful.

BigLarry nailed it
Almost $10,000

I don't want to sound conceited, but as nice as that one was, I have a nicer one. # 955552, one of the last made, an it does not have the cheapie green M1 sling. It has a minty 1943 dated M1907. I started out as a US martial arms collector and would up collecting Winchester levers and 22's. scosgt has been a friend for many years. Big Larry

I own 956111. I bought it from Rick Crossier years ago

Might have been Pat Redmonds gun. He liquidated the collection. Pat passed away in 2000.

It may have been. My consecutive serial number WW1 Winchester's were Pat's as was my Ithaca
