Blanksguy Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Does any one have the production totals/figures by "Manufacturer" (IE: Winchester, Marlin-Rockwell, NESA, IBM, Colt, and Royal-McBee) for the numbers manufactured and possibly by Models? Is there more of a collertor value for one Model over another, or one manufacturer over another? Thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jr Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 When I get home, I will fix you up on this if I can. Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jr Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I have the book in front of me, but that question is just way too broad, I would have to spend a good hour adding it up and then checking it over. I could do a certain manufacturer if you wanted. You might go get one of these books, they are expensive, but worth it. Called "Rock in a Hard Place" by James L. Ballou.ISBN 0-88935-263-1 by Collector Grade Production. Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pa Deuce Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I agree with John Jr., this is a good source. I like the Winchester 1918's over any modification (i.e. 1918A1's and, especially 1918A2's) or over the Colt's (which were largely commercial) and the Marlin-Rockwells (which experienced numerous teething problems). Certainly, the Ermco or Maples' are not in the same league.

John Jr Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I would agree on the Winchester thing. If I had the money, I would go for that one first. Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanksguy Posted October 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 But while I await the copy of the book....does anyone have basic "numbers" made by each manufacturer? (IE: Winchester made ___ 1918, Marlin-Rockwell made ___ 1918A2, etc., etc.) Thanks again, RichardS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
