[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 1867851, member: 16869"] Yes, the bluing is original. Dies and bullets are supposed to be on my front step today, lucked into 100 rounds original brass the other day. Side Story: A gentleman I am personally acquainted with just bought one of the FIVE Model 71 Winchesters chambered in .45-70. I didn't even know they made a 71 in a caliber other than .348. Of those five, TWO were made as the deluxe model - and the one this gentleman purchased is one of those two. I have held it, and was able to examine the original box with all papers - (even the Winchester hanger tag) even the detachable sling swivels were still with it! Just those swivels can go for as much as $150-$200! Wow, just.......wow. [/QUOTE]
