I recently purchased a reprint of a catalog that Winchester printed in 1875 . This is a nice catalog to have it has several testimonials swearing it the superb weapon . Winchester claims the 44wcf will penetrate 4 one inch pine boards at 1000 yards .
If anyone is interested in this , you can find it on the 1873 site on cascity .

Rowdy: How are you doing. Old catalogs are just a fount of information, great for documenting items. One of the BEST, if not the best sites I have found is the link below - they have a treasure trove of catalogs for our period.

Yea I have several of those catalogs, use them for my merchant character. Did make and apply new covers as most came with color covers.
