INTRODUCTION

By Joseph Madden Cornell, CMA, ASA, ISA

Model 21 GrandAmerican Two-Barrel Set.

T his book represents our continuing commitment to follow the tradition of the Standard Catalog of Firearms, which is to produce the very best informational/informative book available to help those interested in firearm research, pricing information, and identification. We are dedicated to supplying the best in firearm information, well thought out, knowledgeable opinions as to pricing, and pertinent descriptions along with pictures intended to help our readers identify particular firearms they find in the marketplace.

We intend to provide general as well as specific information about Winchester and Winchester firearms. Information is power, and it is our never-ending intention to supply our readers with as much quality, accurate information and therefore power as is reasonably possible. It is our intention to provide a maximum number of pictures of various Winchesters. This is because we believe that while a picture may not be worth a thousand words, pictures can and do provide valuable information that the written word is ill-suited to accomplish. (Our sincere compliments and thanks go out to Paul Goodwin, who provided most of the photographs appearing in this book.)

We wish for our readers to recognize that purchasing this book is an excellent investment as it provides them with real knowledge and therefore real power that has real practical value as they pursue their involvement in the firearm marketplace. In short, we have endeavored to be the best source for pricing information, research, and identification available today in the United States. This is a tall order, and while we realize perfection is impossible, we intend on doing our very best.

While pricing information is important, we see ourselves as being able to provide the collector with valuable information when it comes to identifying the various Winchesters and their variations with which the collector comes in contact. Winchester made many models, and while manufacturing these various models the company made many changes to them during the time they were being produced. These variations provide much of the basis for the collector interest in Winchester firearms. Certainly, one of our main objectives is to help collectors identify these variations within the same model. In addition, we endeavor to deal with these variations in a manner that will provide the collector with the maximum amount of information as to how the dissimilarity of weapons within the same model can, and does, result in dramatic variations in price. We want to give our readers an advantage in the highly sophisticated and competitive arena that surrounds the collection of Winchester firearms.
