Thread: Wade & Butcher Comeback

At the risk of being redundant .......... I love old Winchester rifles and have always wanted a 'High Wall' single shot in a centerfire smokeless caliber. I could find a custom one from back in the day, but prices are high. Browning (Japan) made the B-78 which is a bit different internally, has better steel and looks like the old High Wall. I've got one in 45-70 ( a mistake but that is another story) and I've got a "Winchester" ( made by Mikuro in Japan) in 38-55 which is gorgeous and shoots way better than I can.

The aforementioned Case knife company started a separate entity called 'Case Classics'. These are old patterns that were discontinued before WWII and bring astronomical prices in the collectors market. They are made by a small outfit of artisans in Tennessee IIRC. So if you want in original 5193 whittler in nice condition you'd pay thousands. The Case Classic 5391 hundreds. They are very nicely done, even if they are not quite as nice as the real McCoy.

As the Rolling Stones said, 'If You Can't Be With The One You Love, Love The One You're With' .........
