Hi all
Im new to the forum here. I thought you might appreciate seeing my Winchester Model 1873 in 38 WCF. It is factory inscribed Mathieson Alkali Works, Saltville VA”.
Mathieson went on many years later to be the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp.

Pretty cool! I was going to ask if it lettered with the inscription but your pictures answered that.

TY for sharing, that is a very interesting gun. I saw a Winchester 1892 in 25-20 that was issued to a bank in Texas

That's Outstanding! Was this something handed down to you?
Or a Lucky find? If you don't mind me asking.

I was thinking, that it would also be enjoyed on the W.A.C.A. Forum!
