The original Model 1873 Winchester was probably the most popular civilian rifle used on the frontier of the American west because it could fire 15 shots in 60 seconds.   It is known as "the gun that won the West."

Carried by wagon masters leading trains of Conestoga wagons across the Great Plains, cowboys, Indians, U.S. Cavalry, buffalo hunters, outlaws, lawmen and pioneers, the identical cartridge shown here is the the cartridge for the Winchester '73", "the bullet that won the West."  These cartridges were found at the battle of Little Bighorn, Frank James, brother of Jesse James, carried a Winchester '73,  Geronimo's brother in law, Yanhoza (shown in the picture on the left) and Buffalo Bill Cody carried a Winchester '73 when he was a scout in 1876.

This is an original bullet for the Winchester '73, a .44-40 cartridge, lead, small copper primer, no headstamp, it has a folded head and round rim and dates from the 1870's.
