Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 94 chambered in 30-30 is one of the most iconic American rifles to have ever existed. They have seen extensive use across North America for target shooting, competition shooting, as well as medium to large game hunting. If you need a proven rifle that can just about "do it all," the Winchester 94 is it.
Commemoratives were produced in relatively large numbers and consequently the “rarity” generating the collector value is grossly less than the original Winchester models that have become antique collector items today. However, an impressive collection of Winchester Commemoratives can be assembled for a fraction of the cost of the antique models, and all in new to nearly new condition. Even though some of the Commemoratives are extremely rare, Winchester Commemorative issues are an affordable way for beginning collectors to put together a variety of collections of new condition Winchesters to suit individual interests (States, Centennials, Indians, Lawmen, Canadian, etc.).
This Illinois Sesquicentennial, whereas the state of Illinois, celebrated its 150th anniversary of statehood in 1968. It has authorized an official Sesquicentennial firearm in commemorative orientation of this event. The Governor and Chairman at the time, Otto Kerner and Ralph G. New man, certified this to be one of the limited special issue Illinois Sesquicentennial Winchesters.
Contents:
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Winchester is in AMAZING condition showing no evidence of regular consumer use or handling that we can see! Additionally, it will ship with the original labeled box, certificate of authenticity, and all the original contents pictured above.
Return Policy:
