I had this Model 62 Winchester (d.o.m. 1936) for about 45 years, sold it five years ago for a little over 4K.........
it had been handled and shot but was very minty with the box and all the factory papers......
Serious collectors will pay top prices for unbutchered guns.....
amazing how much a minty box and papers increases the value of an old gun.....but they are always opened and handled......I watched a mint 1873 BOXED Winchester go for huge dollars......
If the gun is factory mint
and pre WWII, serious collectors at the big shows will buy it fast.......
I don't see how the gun posted on gunsinternational was purchased originally without the original seller or buyer opening the box to inspect the gun.....that part seems a little fishy to me, even in the 30's and 40's when people were more honest.....?.....
