it s a newer wall hanger piece . the story is neat on how it kept coming back when eh threw it away. it would be really nice if the metal piece was really from a real winchester gun. im just guessing it was made out of wood also. i have seen a lot of these little wall hanger shadow boxes over the years at the antique shows for sales. a gun shop might like it to hang on the wall as a deccoration.
