This Model 1866 was manufactured in 1881 and features factory quality, New York style, floral scroll and punch dot engraving on the receiver, buttplate, and forend cap. The engraving is very similar to the Nimschke engraved example on page 84 of THE WINCHESTER BOOK by Madis. Only 210 Model 1866s were factory engraved or inscribed and 300 were plated as discussed in THE WINCHESTER BOOK; rifles are more rare than carbines. The barrel is marked with the two line address/King's Improvement patent dates on the top barrel flat ahead of the folding ladder rear sight, and the serial number is marked on the lower tang under the lever in the correct Third Model style.
