I can read "Winchester" on it.
I was interested if it's Yellow boys, like from the westerns and stuff.
And, I-- because of the color of it, I always figured it was probably a Yellowboy.
APPRAISER: Well, you would be correct.
It is a Yellowboy.
And it was called the Yellowboy because of its distinctive brass color.
And it is the Winchester Model 1866.
The '66 was produced from '66 through 1898.
There are about 170,000 of rifles and carbines.
This is a carbine, which is essentially a short rifle, preferably be for use on horse.
It is one of those guns that is, qualifies as "the guns that have won the West."
The thing that is remarkable about this, your father didn't appear to touch it.
GUEST: No, it, it hung up on the mantel above our fireplace.
APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.
Because there's a lot of '66s out there, but this one, it's not in pristine condition.
It's in an untouched condition, except for of course, one screw, which appears to have been replaced.
But it appears that it's also been there for a very long time.
You have the original cleaning rod which goes into the stock.
And it's incredible-- this carbine dates to 1869, three years after the introduction of the rifle.
It's known as the Third Model Winchester, because it was the first time that the serial number appears underneath the loading lever.
At auction, I believe that it would fetch somewhere between $6,000 and $8,000, conservatively.
GUEST: Okay.
Right.
APPRAISER: Again, because the market will get quite enthusiastic over the fact that nobody’s played with it, and that it's been in a family and it hasn't traded hands.
