A while back we had a discussion about the serial numbers on the Model 21s and Tony Galazan claims to have built any Model 21 with a serial number higher than 32,000. I recently ran across the pictures and info (that I had misplaced) on these guns that were for sale at the Grand American at Jaqua's a few years ago. Their serial numbers are higher than 32,000 and according to Jaqua's, they were built by The U.S. Repeating Arms and not by Tony Galazan. Here is the info on the guns....... (1) Serial number W38018, 21-4, .410, straight grip, BTFE, 26" barrels, WS1-WS2, checkered butt, single trigger, gold medalion with no intials, "CUSTOM BUILT BY WINCHESTER" on the top of the rib. price- $17,500.........(2)serial number W38025, 21-5, 20 gauge (28")IC/M + 28 gauge (26") IC/M, 2 barrel set, BTFE, single trigger, gold medallion with no initials, checkered butt, "CUSTOM BUILT BY WINCHESTER" on the top of the rib. price-$16,000..... (3) serial number W33311, 21-4, 28 gauge, 26", straight grip, checkered butt, BTFE, single trigger, WS1-WS2, gold medallion with no initials, "CUSTOM BUILT BY WINCHESTER" on the top of the rib that is upside down. (no price) These were three guns with a serial number higher than 32,000 that were NOT built by Galazan.
