This Winchester Model 1876, called the “the Centennial Model “ at the worlds fair in 1876, with a 28 inch barrel (Sport model) serial number 3229 was manufactured on or around 1877. It is chambered in .45-60 caliber. The Winchester 1876 was carried by Teddy Roosevelt, issued to the Canadian Mounties and could take down an American Buffalo. Winchester finally had a gun that could fire a large caliber bullet.
