This is one of the duplicates and I want someone to love it like He did. more pictures on request, she's a beautiful rifle, especially for almost 75 years old. I do have ammo to go with her. 

I value this at a crazy amount do to its History and beauty! I'm willing to take ??? cash/trade. Warning: deer in 7 states know of this rifle and will scatter at its mere presence.

It does and last check it still works. Rifle is beautiful, I really don't have room or time and would like someone to enjoy it.

Did I miss the price? 

[Patriotsson]

I listed it a $1000. Understanding that my sentimental value is not practical for determining price, I have left open to a fair offer or trade. I have two of these and would love someone that appreciates a great lever gun to enjoy and use. I'd say $800 would do it.

308, it's identical but 1952 and shell counter doesn't work. I learned to hunt on it, it was my fathers.

The shell counter is simply a hole in the frame, coupled with numbers engraved into the magazine rotor. If you can lod and unload the magazine, I can't see how it wouldn't work. It may have enough grime built up on it that the numbers aren't visible, however.

I am located in Memphis but my daughter lives in Gallatin. I would be a buyer for your 99 at $700 if you still have it. Please let me know. Thanks
