It would be a travesty to break that set of gorgeous rifles up.

This is in my opinion the "coolest" set of rifles I've ever seen on any gun site. Have you tried any "high end" gun dealers that specialize in safari type rifles or cater to the safari hunter....the guys with the big bucks.
Try Top Guns in Georgia. Gentleman that owns the place is Tom Johnston. He loves fine rifles and namely Winchester products.

I remember seeing a set of these at the Scheel's in Appleton Wisconsin many years ago.

Collector's Firearms in Houston would be interested in that set as well.

They are all the same serial number, ending in BF1-5 for each of the specific guns.

They are all the same serial number, ending in BF1-5 for each of the specific guns. IMO, you should definitely hold out for selling as a set. You should get far more for them than if you were to break them up. To be specific, I do not think that every one of the five would necessarily command as much as 4K, and some like the .375 Capstick might might take a while to push.  Good luck -- they'll sell.

There's a mail order catalog called "things you never knew existed and can't live without" which is exactly how I now feel about that .470 Capstick.

There was a old article in one of the shooting mags about how A-Square developed the .470 Capstick and their Hannibal rifle. Can't remember which magazine off the top of my head.
