Model 1906” by Ned Schwing and listed as featuring “$5” engraving by John A. Gough and listed for $36.50. Schwing indicated the photographs were courtesy of the Cody Firearms Museum and notes on the previous page that these photographs were taken by the factory between 1910 and 1915 for the company to keep as references and review. He also states that Gough’s “anatomical interpretation of various animals is possibly superior to Ulrichs’.” Gough engraved for Winchester from 1905-1918. Schwing also notes that the engraving is similar to pattern number 9 from the engraving catalog. Based on the tables provided in the book on page 182, it is very clear that factory engraved Model 1890s are incredibly rare, and this rifle especially so.
