M1917 Star in Circle

[Dan Wilson]

Well all I can say as to the price is if you like the gun and are satisfied with what you paid then what you paid is really immaterial; could you have found one cheaper?
Oh probably with lots and lots of luck and possibly a year or two of looking but six hundred for a Winchester is actually not too bad of a price at all.

As to the star, its really impossible at this date to know exactly what they mean, probably an inhouse inspection proof, but the whole "not to be sent to yurup thing doesn't bear out (sorry Dan). My Winchester, # 62445 was made on 12 Nov 17, well AFTER contracts and specs were finalized but it has the star mark as well.
