The price of Old Winchester Lever guns has been rising since 98. Henrys are aorund 20K now, Deluxe 66s, 73s,76s, 86s, 92s, 94s and 95s all start around 25K and go up, I've seen some of these guns pull 70K.
A 73 One of One Thousand will cost you at least $200K. So Winchester closing its doors hasn't been the catylst.
The perception of Antique Guns changed with an Article in the Wall Street Journal back in 98, when JC Devines sold a Woodward Double Shotgun for 210K. They basically said Antique Guns were undervalued and were good a good collectable asset to have.
Motion doesn't seem to get it...one can play this game for a few hundred a pop or several hundred thousand to about 1M a pop.
