Snake River, that is a nice '76. If I have not added the serial number to my list, I'd like to do so, if your agreeable. Let me know.
Grizzly,
In all the years I've collected boxed ammunition, I've only seen one partial box of Winchester expansion caps for the .50 Express. This box belongs to a friend of mine who owns a highly engraved 1876 deluxe rifle in .50-95 that belonged to Granville Stewart, who was one of our famous Montana pioneers. Stewart special ordered the gun in 1880 and had it inscribed with his name and the date. It is as fancy a deluxe '76 as I have ever seen. When my friend bought the rifle from Stewarts descendants, it came with the original sling, Winchester reloading tool, bullet mold, box of expansion caps, and 7 full boxes of .50 Express ammunition. All of the small items were stored in the original 2000 round wooden ammo crate marked "Winchester Express". Of all the frontier guns with documentation and because of all of the original accessories, this one is as good as it gets.
Adios,
Buck
