Description:
Winchester Model 1866. 24 1/2" bbl. 44 WCF. Made 1867. Artfully custom engraved by E.A. Lytle. Lytle of Montana Watch Company and Rocky Mountain Watch Company fame, a custom watch engraver by trade, and an accomplished artist, studied under Joseph, who was an engraver at Winchester for a short time working with Kusmit and Urlich. Ernie wanted to try his hand at gun engraving, giving him a larger work area than a watch. This artwork was completed in the late 1980s or 90s. The work is a copy of a famous L.D. Nimschke 1866 that was ordered by the president of Peru as a gift to the president of Bolivia. The original was a solid silver action, with the silver coming from the peruvian silver mines. This work appears on cover and inside of Winchester Engraving. The original gun last sold for in excess of $250,000! This modest copy can be yours for a mear fraction of that cost! Trades or layaway considered.
