1873 in the 1910 Winchester catalog
I recently picked up a reproduction of the 1910 Winchester catalog and I was surprised to see the 1873 still prominently featured right along with the 86, 92, 94, and 95. When did Winchester stop making/selling the 73? Since the 92 was designed to "fill its shoes," I would have thought production would have stopped long before the 20th century rolled around.

1923? Somewhere about then...

Yeah Hobie, I recall that 1923 would be correct even though I didn't go look it up. Don't much trust my recollection powers any more. At 71, this old prof is losing a lot in many categories.

Some sources quote manufacturing period between 1873 and 1919, with more than 700,000 units made in all variants.
