I just read this on gunbroker.com:

"This is Mossberg’s 464 Lever Action at its closest to John M. Browning’s 1894 Winchester ancestor. Type is lever action repeating carbine. Manufacturer and warrantor is O.F. Mossberg & Sons of New Haven, CT, and Eagle Pass, TX. We believe its production utilized Winchester Machinery; Winchester closed in 2007, and the 464 appeared in 2008, only 9 miles from the Winchester plant. "


So can anyone give creedence to this statement?
 
I found more through an image search. It seems the one listed as #25 of 100 was a Bismark ND marked rifle, like the one linked above is a Fort Worth TX rifle. So each rifle represents or depicts historical events of cities and towns across the US.
 
This is just a sample of what I found through an image search. The last photo shows the optional case available. The one listing showed a price of nearly two grand.
