Rare Winchesters

RareWINCHESTERS.com is comprised of an evolving private collection of antique firearms, specializing in WINCHESTERS from the 1800's and early 1900's. The collection includes rifles, pistols, shotguns and miscellaneous accessories and accoutrements, mostly from Winchester, but from many other well known gun makers as well.

Some items are historically significant, such as the first gun made by WINCHESTER, the Henry carbine owned by Yellowstone Kelly, or the model 1895 Lee recovered from the wreck of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor.

If you are a serious collector, or simply an interested hobbyist, feel free to browse around my site. Not everything is necessarily for sale, but I am always interested in trading, selling and buying, so any serious offers will be considered. Let me know what you think, or make an offer on something you like, but most of all...

Enjoy your visit to RareWINCHESTERS.com
