Winchester (New Haven, CT) Model 1873 Rifle
Winchester manufactured this rifle in 1885. The present configuration of this rifle, with added furniture tacks cannot be definitively attributed to Native American hands. It is possible that the barrel on this rifle has been replaced, along with the buttstock. Donated by John S. Craig.
