30-30 Winchester

Winchester Rifle , Caliber .30-30 Win. Released in 1976 for the hundred years of the Battle of Little Big Horn during which the Sioux warriors inflicted a severe defeat on the 7th Cavalry Regiment of General GA Cluster. This weapon is the 28° published in the commemorative series and has been reserved for the European market (mainly France and Germany). It was manufactured in 10,000 copies. The receiver, the trigger guard, the lever, the magazine-barrel collar and the magazine cap are gold-plated, the other parts and the hardware are bronzed, thus enhancing the luster of the noble color.
Scenes of traditional life are engraved on both sides of the receiver. A medallion representing a Sioux warrior is embedded in the butt, surrounded by nails, in Indian fashion. The crescent butt plate is in shiny bronzed steel, to the best effect. Its carbine configuration makes it equipped with a saddle ring on the left side.This pretty rifle and its accessories (none are missing) are in absolute new condition because the weapon has never been fired. Its original accessories are complete: box in new condition with the top covered with a paper reproduction (intact!) of bison painting, a suede fringed scabbard with Indian motifs on both sides (the scabbard is still in its original plastic bag!), a very beautiful reproduction of a painting representing a Sioux warrior (rolled up in its original protective cardboard tube) and finally its leather label. All of these accessories have become unthinkable to find in this condition, that is to say nine, forty-six years later…The weapon weighs 2.9 Kilos, its length is 96 centimeters, it holds 6 shots +1 of 30-30, a legendary ammunition.

The exceptional condition of this weapon makes us travel in time by bringing us back 46 years.
