Winchester Presentation Garand

I am betting the hand guard clip has no holes as seen on a few other chromed WRA presentations. Can you let us know. Thanks,,Rick B

Back in early 2004, Rock Island auctions had a plated Winchester M1 with fancy wood for sale (inventory number PPM995-31)
and also without serial number

Would you happen to know the item number ?

From what I understand inventory numbers were for Rock Island in house use.
I would be curious to know what it sold for.

[RCS]

The Rock Island Auction list "Rare Winchester Factory Display M1 Garand Rifle and Winchester
Bayonet" They state it is a Gauge Gun and was assembled from gauge parts. Fully nickel plated
and has the Winchester logo but without serial number.

Also a Winchester marked M1 bayonet also nickel plated.

Lot Number 3752 Est. Price $7500 - $13000 (2004 price)

Thanks for that info.....

Do you think the Rock Island Gauge Gun is one of the 15 (or More) mentioned in Canfield's book ?

Now I will have to think about this things future.

Ever shot it? (LOL) Ah, just saw the welded chamber Too bad but then it was never meant to be used. Still a VERY nifty piece.
