Manufactured in 1869, this Winchester Model 1866 carbine has the serial number stamped in block numerals behind the trigger. The two-line Winchester address/King's patent marking is faintly visible on the top of the barrel. The left side of the lower tang is marked "XXX", and the stock inlet and inside the buttplate are both marked "6041". The barrel is fitted with a blade front sight that is integral to the barrel band and a two-leaf rear sight. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate (cleaning rod not included). An included letter from the Buffalo Bill Historical Center states that prior to their acquiring the carbine it was part of the Edwin Pugsley collection which was owned by Olin Corporation's Winchester Gun Museum. Pugsley was a long time superintendent of Winchester Repeating Arms Co. and an avid gun collector. Also included is a copy of Pugsley's collection card for this gun which states that no factory records are available for it, that it was refinished by Winchester Repeating Arms Co. in 1943, and that it was presented by T.G. Bennett in 1943.
