If I had to guess as to where you're finding all these old Winchesters, I'd say from the north eastern part of the country. My wife's uncle was a rabid Winchester lever action collector, and every year he'd take a 3 week vacation and go to Maine and other eastern seaboard states to buy them and big whitetail antlers.
