Cody Firearms Museum: The Winchester 1873 "Great Basin Gun"
Ashley Hlebinsky, the Robert W. Woodruff Curator at the Cody Firearms Museum, shares a close-up look at the "Great Basin Gun", a Winchester Model 1873 found leaning mysteriously against a tree in Great Basin National Park. Ashley and her team of curators at the Cody Firearms Museum were tasked with preserving the severely weathered firearm for display at its permanent home at Great Basin National Park. The Cody Firearms Museum including its research library, is one of five major museums at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming.
