WRA Co. "Book 6" : Winchester Ammunition Production Orders May 19, 1891- July 14, 1892
This is the ledger (on onion skin paper) that details orders for Winchester Ammunition between the dates of 05/19/1891 and 07/14/1892. Pages are numbered to 702, but only every other page has writing on it due to the ink and thin-skinned paper. Click on a pic to magnify...some parts are hard to read.

I could show these, too, but I'm getting tired of taking pictures of these things and they're fragile. You guys probably get the point by now, anway!

Model 1890 Short .22 Calibre from Winchester's R&D
We believe this triggerless Model 1890 Short .22 is a prototype from Winchester's Research & Development department. Note the stainless steel, hexagonic barrel. For some reason, the camera made most of these pix make the stainless barrel and receiver appear to be gold - they're not. See the last pic to gauge the true hue.
Serial No appears to be 7.7.913, but actually references a date (thank you, Herb!).
Note the patent info in one pic and the "R F", "W" and the encircled "VF" on the underside of the barrel (sorry pix are a little blurry). Also, note the notches on the barrel.
