The final Winchester 150th anniversary bullet board is now up for auction.

The bullet board features an anniversary model of the Winchester Model 1866 “Yellow Boy”, originally manufactured in 1871 and chambered for the original 44 Henry Rimfire cartridge, and will go to whomever has submitted the highest bid by 11 p.m. CST on Dec. 24, 2016. The proceeds from the sale of this piece of Winchester history will benefit Folds of Honor in support of its mission to provide educational scholarships to the children and spouses of those fallen or disabled while serving our nation 

To date, four Winchester 150th Anniversary bullet boards have achieved more than $100,000, with bids ranging from $6,500 to more than $55,000. The Winchester Model 1866 bullet board, (the year in which the Winchester brand was established) is considered the most valued of the five custom built boards in 2016, and was purposely made available as the final commemorative piece of art to round out the 150th anniversary celebration.
