Results of my Winchester displays

[leesheridan]

I just thought I would share with you the results of the Cody Museum Winchester Gun Show. It is one of the largest gun shows in the nation and by far the largest Winchester gun show. My two displays were sort of competing against each other according to the judges, but my "Winchesters that went to war" display took first place as the second picture shows with the plaque.

That is an awesome display. Maybe now that I see what you've done I will make a display for my grandfather's winchester that was passed on to me. It's a model 1886 45-70. According to the serial number I sent in it was built in January of 1890.

On that 1886 model Winchester the serial number has to be within 28578-38402. If you ever want to sell it let me know. Mike

Actually the Serial number is 39626. The Historian at Winchester told me it was manufactured in January 1890 after he looked it up in his books. He recommended for me not to send it in for restoration and just keep clean. I wouldn't sell it and will pass it on to my son and on down the line. I have pics with my grandfather holding it while on horseback. Even have his silver pocket watch (also in photo) that he always kept in his vest pocket. I like to hold on to things for sentimental reasons.
