Just thinking out loud here ... I, myself, would love to have a Winan's New Model 3 Target. The caliber doesn't bother me because I load myself.
However, I would much prefer to own one in nicer condition. I believe this might be the same thought of most higher end New Model 3 collectors.
While yours will sell to someone for a reasonable price, it is my preference to spend more to purchase one in nicer condition.
It is no secret that Walter Winans used all his best guns very often and over many years but I cannot imagine that he would not take excellent care of them.
In speculation, I feel the majority of this wear came after Walter Winans ownership. That's what concerns me most of all.
What mechanical condition is it in ?
