how uncommon or rare are these?
I picked up a collection last week and got 2 1866's,
one a standard 3 band, that had been nickeled, or chromed, not sure which, but it otherwise a nice rifle, despite the nickel
and a 2 band,
looking at Mr. Hosmer's book, it seems to be correct, (stock thin at wrist, likely from sanding, but nothing added as mentioned )
I'll try to get some pics up by this weekend,
it is worn, but not horribly so, and missing the cleaning rod,
wondering if this is something I should set in the corner and keep for a bit,
(Full disclosure, I am an FFL\SOT that likes old stuff)
