You will have to work through CFM Curatorial Assistant Warren Newman and the Imaging Rights and Reproductions Manager Sean Campbell. I would suggest you contact Mr. Campbell at 307-587-2107, or at seanc@bbhc.org to learn about the process. Good luck in your quest. Dave,

Hope it's of use to you. "Your Winchester .44 W.C.F. Carbine is probably a Model 1873 Lever Action Repeating Carbine. With serial number 563014, it would have been produced in 1899, according to fairly reliable secondary sources. There is nothing to indicate, even in our extensive archived references and computerized databases, that Annie Oakley ever owned a Model 1873 chambered for the .44 W.C.F.cartridge, but she owned a great many guns that probably have never been authenticated. It will all depend on the thoroughness and persuasiveness of your written documentation on the gun." Jim,

I have a piece of Winchester Repeating Arms Company paper dated Nov. 8th, 1892. It is a sales receipt for a rear sight elevator. I have a photo of a Model 1892 rifle with a pistol grip and checkered stock, a take down model. I'm told that it was the highest grade of the Model 18792 available. I would like to obtain an image which is clear enough to show me the detail of the weapon so I can portray it correctly. Can you be of any assistance? I'm willing to pay a reasonable fee for a photograph I can use as a model.
