I believe the Winchester to be an 1866 rather than the 1892, for several reasons, first the 1892 was never that widely dispersed in Europe copied by the Spanish but no one else, second the picture shows a seemingly shiny fore end end cap which was blued on the 1892 but brass on the 1866 and thirdly the 1866 was used by the Ottoman Turks and captured in large numbers by the Russians in the 1877-78 Russo-Turkish War, which would allow for inexpensive movie guns due to its obsolescence.

1892 Winchesters were popular hunting guns on Russian Far East, they were purchased from American whalers. But the outlook really matches 1866, so I agree. Thanks! Greg-Z (talk) 08:24, 10 April 2017 (EDT)
