In many years, i take a trip around antiqshop's and looking for old weponparts.....and some time back, i get hold on a lot of old gunparts, nothing exsiting, most rusty crap, but there was some smal part i clean up good, to me it seem like a Henry Buttplate, not brass, but iron.  ???
I measure it with my Uberti Henry, and Uberti Winchester 73, and it is very likness, the measure was close to henry rifle, but the shape looks like Winschester.......The buttplate dosen't have any cleaning rod house port at all.
It has a serial nr.........1276 or (0) with something look's like a L back ??? ???

Do anyone now's what kind of rifle this buttplate fit's ???

Here some pictures. And a website to Dates of manufactory's   http://www.savage99.com/winchester1873_dates.htm

Probably 1873 Winchester.  According to Sword's book, all of the iron frame Henry rifles had a rounded heel where it joined the comb.  Still a great find.

Yup, the iron framed Henrys were blunt, not pointed, at the top corner.

It could be from several different rifles. Here is the butt plate of my Marlin Model 1894, manufactured in 1895.




That's bad business! How long do you think I'd stay in operation if it cost me money every time I pulled a job? If he'd pay me that much to stop robbing him, I'd stop robbing him.

Ya probably inherited every penny ya got!

From the photo, it's very hard to tell.  However, I pretty sure it's not from any model Winchester.  I compared your photo to a couple of Marlins, both the 1894 and an 1881 light frame.  Your buttplate is nearly a dead ringer for the 1881 Marlin.  Both the heel and toe come to a long gradual point and from the center of the screw hole to the bottom of the toe is about 1 13/16ths of an inch.

Adios,

Thank you very much   :)

It seems to me that Marlin, Winchester and more, have the same kind of butplate in differend's shapes, i dont now. :-\
Do anyone have a picture of a 1881 Marlin, it would be nice to see one.

If someone needs it, and has 1 or 2 nice Indian eagel feathers, we can make a trade  :D
