Greetings to everyone!!!
Today I became a member of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association. I’m pretty excited to learn more about the history of Winchester and converse with some knowledgeable people in the field.
Im looking for a good reference book regarding the Winchester Model 1866 and 1873. I hoping to locate a book with plenty of photos, that emphasizes on the production, variations, roll marks, and stamping. Should anyone out there know of a couple of good books?? Let me know. Thanks!!!!

Jman,
Welcome to the forum. I mostly into the 1873 and am doing a survey on them. I would suggest the Winchester Book by Madis. It covers most the models but does have some inaccuracies and pictures are not great. That is the book I started out with. For the 73 alone, Winchester’s New Model of 1873: A Tribute by Jim Gordon. Expensive but loaded with good info and great pictures. What the different stamps looked like through out production. The other one which does have some good parts is The 1873 Handbook by George Stone.
