The description even states the following:
”…professionally finished replacement sideplates…”
This is the kind of stuff you want to AVOID!
We’re in agreement once again!

In one of the letters featured above (the M1886 in .45-90) among the many special features, there is notation of, “engraved magazine.” You sure don’t see this every day.

Here is the letter Tony. The Returned Jan 6 1881 is the date it shipped back (returned) and to New York I’m thinking its a New York distributor or dealer.

Bob,
Yeah the distributor was themselves! Winchester had a New York store on 312 Broadway for many years.
The not well known Model 1879 double barrel shotgun was sold through that location.
Sincerely,
Maverick

Steve,
I agree with you on that, as it’s a first for me, as I don’t recall seeing an “engraved magazine”, in a letters notation!
Brady,
That’s a pretty cool and neat photograph. I like the “Sportsman’s Headquarters”, with the “W”, underneath on the window glass. I’ve read that address on numerous occasions and don’t recall seeing the photograph.
Thanks for sharing!
Tony
