hello, odessa! thanks for the info. I live in Brasil, and our west landscape was 'won' between 1900/1920, years after this happened in US. Our 'gun that won the west' was the winchester 92, mainly in 44.40, thus, my interest. Authentic win 92s in working condition are very sought, as historic value and as shooters. I have an original one, made in 1911 - 44.40 cal, and shoots well. I use it sparingly, 'cause of historic value, but have 2 copies made by rossi, nice guns, that I shoot a lot. luck and health!
