That's an awesome picture of a sailor with his Winchester-Lee Navy rifle! Wish I could get my hands on one...
W-Ls pictures or the "real thing" are always welcome on this forum. Like Psteinmeyer, I wish I had one, as well.
I have one inbound.

I'm with you Rick... Jealousy is running rampant!!!
Here's probably as close as I'll ever get to owning one :icon_tongue:

Can't tell if these Marines are armed with them or not.Picture is no earlier than 1901 or later than 1909.When did the Corp switch?

I suspect these are Lee Navies from the overall length. I found several photos of armed men in the Navy around this time. Remington Lees, Lee Navies and even Trapdoors were featured. Could not find a definite Winchester Hotchkiss, though. If anyone is interested, I hope to have a reasonably complete Lee Navy display at the July Kansas City show.
