ATLAS
COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a jaw-dropping masterpiece of exhibition-grade rimfire history: a spectacular 1909 Winchester Model 1906 slide-action rifle. Chambered in .22 Rimfire and carrying a crisp 20-inch barrel, this early production treasure has been completely transformed into a museum-tier presentation work of art. Master engraved by legendary former Winchester factory engraver Nick Kusmit, this heirloom-grade rifle is discreetly signed with his iconic "NK" initials on the right-side receiver landscape. It stands as an absolute crown jewel for the advanced Winchester investor or high-end firearms art connoisseur.
The receiver displays magnificent, full-coverage hand-chiseled floral scrollwork and fine punch-dot shading, highlighted by magnificent 24k gold-wire inlaid borders. The left side features a beautifully detailed relief scene of two squirrels on a tree branch, while the right side displays a family of cottontail rabbits in a forest backdrop—all masterfully executed in solid 24k gold raised inlays. Matching scrollwork and gold-wire accents elegantly drape the muzzle, chamber area, tangs, takedown knob, trigger, magazine handle, and the buttplate assembly. It is stocked in breathtaking, highly figured oil-finished deluxe walnut, intricately hand-carved with a deep Germanic oak leaf and acorn pattern on the straight wrist and forearm.
This singular museum-tier specimen remains in extremely fine condition, showing only the faintest handling impressions on its highly decorative exhibition wood. Mechanically perfect with an incredibly smooth pump action, the rifle boasts a mirror-brilliant bore that remains in spectacular condition. The gold highlights stand out in dazzling contrast against the expert hand-polished blued receiver flats, creating an unrepeatable investment-grade acquisition that represents the absolute pinnacle of custom Winchester display art.
