About the photo our Curator of Research, Mark Halvorson states “the gun in the photo is probably a Model 1873 Winchester rifle, round barrel . . . it could be the Model 1876, but since they made few of them, my money is on the Model 1873. We know the Marquis liked Winchesters . . . . he had a number of different models (at least 2 Model 1873) and calibers, including the big game one – Model 1886 Winchester rifle .50-110 (Express), we still have the re-loading tools for that one. ”since they made few of them, my money is on the Model 1873.
