I have an 1886 Winchester prototype in 45-70. Got it from 3rd owner. It was in a museum that closed, then a Mexican ranch, then to a collector, then to me. He knew the history and wrote it all out for me. It has a few oddities unusual to a production 86 rifle but I just assumed that was because it's a prototype. Problem is I can't figure a way to actually authenticate this as what it is. No normal serial numbers. Any advice ? Thanx in advance for any help.
