I was at my local gun shop yesterday and spied a 1.33 mil Winchester with all the early accouterments. The stock was the only thing not original. It was a cut down to low wood Inland type I. Well worn but original nonetheless. Price, $1200.00. Ouch! It's there on consignment and the shop owner, Ernie, said the owner would not budge on the price. It almost looks chromed the finish was so worn :lol: I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.
It is amazing how people go nuts over Winchesters. I'll bet that on average, there is a 30% higher price just for that name. While they are great weapons, they are no better than say a NPM or IBM. I do admire the fact that they made most of their own parts including the wood, but beyond that they are just a good gun. In my experience, they have a tougher finish than some.
Bill, is that a spring tube?

Dave, I could not tell for sure. I did look but I will try again tomorrow.
Keep us posted I love gun shoping :)
I did not get back to the shop where the carbine was. I went to his other shop but I may get there this week.
