This Winchester Model 1876 Deluxe Sporting Rifle is factory engraved on the cartridge lifter with the following: "Judge E. S. Dundy, Falls City, Neb."
Judge Dundy was the presiding judge in the trial of the Ponca leader Standing Bear and made the landmark ruling that Indians were persons under the law. Winchester records indicate that this rifle was shipped from the warehouse on April 10, 1879, twenty days before the start of the trial.
