Buck,
It's my understanding that only 10 of these we're ever produced, and given upon a donation made to the, "Northwest Territories Association"! These 10 we're presented in a rough wooden case, with Blue Velvet lining, and tied together with seal skin.(Tom Trolard Book)
 
Good luck in you're search.

Thanks Tony, I know where 2 are at but hoping I can find one of the other 8. Needle in a hay stack but still gonna try! Hoping someone knows someone 😁
  

Pretty amazing that you know where two are!

I am posting links to my comps for this rifle and inviting members to make offers before I put this into a lot with some other guns and reach out to Rock Island Auctions to see if they can help me sell them. Feel free to shoot me a private message for more photos and details on the gun. I am attaching images of "final price sold" as well. 

Comps used to support the asking price:

1. Rock Island Auction — L.D.N. marked custom engraved Winchester 1866 rifle
   Actual sale price: $11,163
   This is the closest conservative comp because it is also LDN-marked and cataloged as custom engraved in the "style" of L.D. Nimschke. The stock on this gun is NOT deluxe, high-figure wood.

2. March in Montana — custom Nimschke-inspired engraved 1866 rifle
   Actual sale price: $15,000
   This is the best fair-market anchor in my view. Similar custom/Nimschke-inspired engraved 1866 rifle category, but that rifle had refinished/replated elements and a stock stress crack that's more substantial. Also dows not have high figure wood and much more tarnished finish.

3. Poulin Auction — custom extended-barrel engraved 1866 with fake “NIMSCHKE” / “LDN” signatures
   Actual sale price: $9,840
   This is a lower-floor comp. It is relevant because of the fake LDN/Nimschke issue, but it had a later 32" barrel, reproduction 1000-yard sight, upgraded wood, and custom embellishment. My rifle appears stronger on barrel configuration, bore, finish, and overall presentation.

4. James D. Julia / Morphy — aftermarket Nimschke-style engraved 1866 rifle
   Actual sale price: $31,050
   I am not using this as a direct comp because it is a different category and does not have the same LDN-type initials issue. I include it only as a visual/upper reference showing the broader market for highly engraved Nimschke-style 1866 rifles when condition/category support it.
