Hello everyone my name’s Mike. I’m new to this forum and I have some serious questions for all of you serious collectors and historians on the model 1873 winchester. I have recently acquired an 1873 the serial number on this piece is 49033, it has a name engraved on the barrel “F.POPE”. I would love to get some information on this rifle. Please to any and all of you with any type of knowledge on this rifle please reach out. THANK YOU in advance.

Mike,
Pictures of the engraving would be nice to see. The only Pope I have knowledge of is H. M. Pope a barrel maker. Does the barrel have the standard barrel address? As a guest you have to upload the photos to a third party host site and link to them otherwise you can email them to me at the below address.
