This is outstanding, as he talks about the World renowned fair in Chicago of 1893, with the Winchester display and extravagant booths that we're set up. Besides the earlier booths and the comparisons of the different Black powder firearms of the times. 

What a great historical article that ties the Winchester brand of the early days to the other brands.

Thanks for sharing!

I hope the link works.

Yes, as Jim outlines, Winchester was there.

I've really enjoyed Jim's articles over the last many decades.  He's written for the WACA magazine.  He's published a very large number of articles in Gun Digest (sometimes two in one edition) and he is a two-time John Amber winner.

By the way, this particular publication - The Black Powder Cartridge News - is something that may be of interest to some here.

Here's the link:

128-year old Citizens Guard Hawaii Winchester 1873
byu/Ken808 inguns

There's a lot of other history involving the Hawaiian Marine Guard and such, and a model 1876 Musket, that collectors in Houston had, along with some other firearms mentioned, but no 1873's that I remember.

I have three 73's that are noted to the CGH in my research. Serial 372665, 395918 and 431661 that are 44 caliber carbines and the last one has a set trigger. I remember seeing the ledgers on the CGH guns a while back. I checked 431661 and its on the page I've attached. The issue with me using the list is I would have to letter all the guns marked as 44 caliber because I don't want to use them in my survey if I assume they all are carbines. The only other Winchester they could be are 92's but in that serial range they were made in 1907 or later after the ledger was written. Then there are some early serial numbers that would be first model 73's or could be 92's and could of been used .

Have you ever come across or heard of any Model 1892s that are C.G.H. marked?

I haven't. But that doesn't mean anything.

I agree…. I see a new weekly thread called “Stump the experts”….😂
  

That would be fun. Back in the old days there was a monthly mag that came out, called the the Yankee Magazine, and every month they had a quiz call "what is it". I was always some old and obscurer  farm implement  and we would sit with my grand father and try to figure out what it was. Spoiler alert, he almost always knew.

There is a lot of information and a great effort uploaing it all.

I hope that this is the correct forum for this, as the others did not seem quite appropriate. I am a journalist writing a series of pieces about the Hawaiian counterrevolution of 1895 and am seeking information and access to any and all Winchester 1873 models whose known origin is Hawaii and especially those which are inscribed 'C.G.H'. 
Any and all info - but especially serial numbers and the stories of how you came to own them - is greatly appreciated! And if there is by chance a collector in Honolulu who'd be willing to allow me to examine and photograph their models, I would be extremely grateful.
Again, I apologize if this is not quite the forum - I know how annoying a newbie like me can be, and I appreciate any help that you all may offer.

In addition to the Model 1873, the Hawaiian Guard also had Winchester Model 1876 Lever-action repeaters and Winchester Single Shot Muskets in their inventory.

Hey Bert! 

Thanks for getting back to me, yeah I've been looking through their rosters and rifle distribution documents. I'm searching for the Winchester 1873's because those were the ones recorded to have been used by both rebels and CGH at the time of the counterrevolution. Trying to track those rifles to the present day as best I can
