1879 was when Winchester added the 45-60 and 50-95, so it stands to reason that is when they started marking the caliber.

… "older the better" helps define what is most, "collectable." Additionally the, "rarer the better" can apply. Applying these two factors, a M1876 is more collectable than a M1894.
I have never owned a Henry rifle but I consider them highly collectable.

Based on the sheer numbers manufactured & available, I would put the 1892 and 1894 before the 1876 and Single Shots. I also believe that there are more Model 1873 collectors than there are 1876 collectors.
…do with it as well.
I sometimes find a rifle with only two inches longer than standard in barrel length. For example, a 26 inch 1873 or 30 inch 1876. Makes me wonder why they even bothered.
A 32 inch 1886 is a pretty good add on in length over standard. Maybe those old time shooters

From what I can tell, your 1876 SN 46021 was made in 1885.
…60 was restored by Bob Knapp more than ten years ago. He made new links, pairs, some refer to as toggles or shell lifters for 1873 .44-40, & 1876 .45-60. Also adding new link mounting pins, magazine tube and spring and screws to both rifles. Black powder was very corrosive to parts and rust
…Bert said, its not a matter of "who" done it, rather more of a "what does it mean" question.
That "CF" marking is found on 1873, 1876, 1885, 1886, 1892, 1894 models, likely the 1895 as well. Not aware of the "CF" marking used outside those models but that doesnt mean it wasnt used
…Model 1881 rifle was a great leap forward but never really threatened Winchester's sales. The Model 1881 was a fine rifle but the Winchester Models 1876 and later 1886 simply outsold it.
All that being said, I think the Winchester rifles are better looking than the contemporary Marlin guns.
