Hi, this model 1907 was part of Julia Auctions Spring 2008 firearm auction- no sold price was listed so it may have been withdrawn from the auction or did not reach the reserve price. www.juliaauctions.com
Here's the auction listing information:
*FACTORY ENGRAVED WINCHESTER 1907 DELUXE AUTO LOADING RIFLE. SN 16409. Cal. .351 20" rnd. bbl with intrical pedistal base with Lyman fine bead front sight. Receiver is factory engraved in the style 9 pattern which is circle with buck deer running on left side and circle with standing buck deer on right with moderate foliate arebesque scroll, also mounted with Lyman receiver sight. Mounted with "XXX" walnut with checkered forend and checkered pistol grip stock with hard rubber grip cap and rare raised cheek piece and hard rubber butt plate. Should be noted that this firearm is pictured in R.L. WILSON'S "WINCHESTER ENGRAVING BOOK," 1st ed. pg. 268 and 2nd ed. pg. 311. PROVENANCE: Vogel Collection. CONDITION: Fine. BBL retains 90-95% orig. blue with some muzzle wear and usual light handling marks. Receiver retains 90-95% orig. blue with sharp edge wear and a little flaking at the bottom. There are three holes filled with plug screws across the top. Stocks are sound with just a few light nicks and dings and have a clean open grain oil finish. 4-32101 BDT151 (15,000-17,500)
Beautiful rifle, but it's a shame they did not locate a better magazine to sell with the rifle. Since the Winchester magazines are not factory serial numbered or individually-fitted, it would not have been a mismatch...
