More than any other rifles, The Winchester 1 of 1000 and 1 of 100 have captured the hearts and admiration of gun collectors everywhere. They were all but forgotten for decades until a Winchester 1873 1 of 1000 became the subject of a popular motion picture, Winchester '73, in 1950. The story of these famous and magical rifles that were manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. is part of our American heritage. These rifles were owned and used by men who played an important role in the westward expansion and settlement of the America we all know and love today. This history makes each of these rifles, no matter its present condition, a rich and tangible link between its owner and America's remarkable past. Features over 500 color photographs, complete serial number tables and detailed shipping recors. A spectacular study of the most beautiful and historical Winchesters ever made. Author: Edmund E. Lewis, M.D., Hardcover, 176 pages, 9"W x 11.25"H.
