I was under the impression that all Tom Horn models were 45/60. Fella on GB has one for sale in 45/75. Sent him a messege, we'll see what the response is.  He also is selling a couple other 76's, 45/60 and a 40/60. All with extras, ammo, dies, shooting rest.

You are right, Tom Horns are all 45-60, plus they have blued frames and this guy's is case colored, plus it is missing the Tom Horn signature on the side plate.  It appears that he simply has the Tom Horn tang sight.

I made mention of all that. Can't tell if the name inscription is there or not as there are no pic's of the right side. Mentioned that too. No response yet.

So that means somebody actually put that sight on it on purpose.  :)

That one on GB says that it has "a Tom Horn style tang sight added later". Maybe it didn't start life as a "Tom Horn" model?

No, it never was a Tom Horn. It's just a regular 76 with a TH peep added. He either didn't know or was trying to slip a fast one and got called on it.

But still, with all the reloading supplies, maybe not a bad deal?

I'd be more interested in the 40/60 he has for sale. Already got a 45/75.
