101 Ranch, Gold Plated Winchester Model 1873, SRC; Serial No. 461401B; Made 1893; .44-40 Caliber with a 20” Barrel; This SRC belonged to Jack Case who traveled all over the United States during and after the Great Depression, producing and performing in rodeo shows. He managed his own rodeo shows under the company name “Jack Case Rodeo Attractions” and later outfit as the “Bar-20 Ranch Rodeo”, whose appearances were sponsored by such organizations as the Family Welfare Agency, American Legion Posts, and regional Elk Lodges. Case was the assistant arena directory of the Pendleton Round-Up in 1923 and went on to direct and perform in Buck Taylor’s Wild West Show at the Million Dollar Pier in Atlantie City, New Jersey. Case also performed with his friend Miller’s 101 Ranch Wild West Show, which toured all over America, and Case acted as manager of the 101 Ranch shows during their European tours in 1924 and 1926. This Winchester is a .44-40 caliber SRC with a 20” Barrel. The entire exterior is gold washed or gold plated except the dust cover, saddle ring, elevator, and door in the butt plate which are nickel. The barrel markings are light but readable. The rear sight is a flip up, ladder sight and the front sight is a standard blade. Stamped on the left side of the lower tang is “J. Case” which is not visible with the butt stock in place. The walnut butt stock is in good condition with gaps in the wood to metal fit. The forearm has a chip missing from either side in front of the frame. The action functions properly and the bore is dark. The lever return spring is not functioning properly. Affixed to the right side plate is a 25 cent token from the 101 Ranch store.
