Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1823, the Texas Rangers were unofficially created by Stephen F Austin, and formally became a division meant to protect the Texas border in 1835. Throughout history, they were involved in a number of well known events, such as stopping the assassination of President William Taft and the apprehension of criminals such as John Wesley Hardin and Bonnie and Clyde. Needless to say, they were a tough group!
Winchester Commemoratives were first introduced in 1964, with the Wyoming Diamond Jubilee. Each Commemorative was issued as a reproduction of a historically famous gun model or to honor a historically significant person, group, event or institution relating to U.S. or Canadian history. 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 1974 Winchester Model 94 Texas Ranger Commemorative in .30-30 caliber Lever Action Rifle is one of only 4,850 ever made! This carbine was made to commemorate 150 years of the Texas Rangers and features blued steel finish, saddle-ring on receiver, straight grip smooth Walnut stock & forearm, 20" barrel, two barrel bands, fixed blade front & fully adjustable rear sight. Embedded on the right side of the stock is a Texas Ranger badge with states "COMMEMORATIVE TEXAS RANGER 1823, 1973".
