22” barrel-made in 1929, Serial #984782 (The model 53 was one of the least produced models that Winchester made) The story behind this rifle is that it was supposedly owned by a Blackfoot Native American from the Blackfoot Indian reservation in Blackfoot, Idaho. The gentleman was born in approximately the 1880’s and lived his whole life in that area. The rifle was made in 1929 so it’s not known when or where he acquired it. He marked the rifle in the traditional Blackfoot style and hunted with the rifle the rest of his life. He passed away in the late 50’s early 60’s and the rifle was purchased from one of his grandsons. Typically rifles of this nature and quality are in museums. The opportunity to have one In a private collection is priceless and very rare.
