serial #LS16129, 30-30 Win, 20'' half-octagon half-round barrel with a bright excellent bore. The gold-finish on the receiver, lever, and nosecap is in very good plus condition with minor imperfections and a few light handling marks. The remaining metal surfaces of the carbine retain about 97% original blue finish with scattered light handling marks, a few scattered specks of light oxidation, and small area of the barrel toning to brown about 1 1/2'' behind the front sight. The smooth pistolgrip walnut stock and forend are in about very good plus condition with some scattered light handling marks, primarily concentrated on the toe line. The right side of the buttstock is inlaid with a 1 1/2'' gold medallion, marked ''LONE STAR / COMMEMORATIVE'', bearing the visages of Houston, Travis, Crockett, Austin, and Bowie in relief. The receiver is embellished with a border of five-pointed stars around both sides, with the right side also being marked ''1845'' and ''1970'', with a larger star between the dates. The barrel address remains crisply struck, the right side of the barrel is stamped ''LONE STAR COMMEMORATIVE'', and the upper tang is stamped ''UNDER SIX FLAGS''. The rifle is sighted with a silver bead front sight and a sporting-style rear sight, and features an intact saddle ring. A fine carbine to fit in a Winchester collection. (14A9761-18) {C&R} (500/700)
