Polie,
check out forums like http://www.cascity.com or other cowboy actions shooting sites, such as http://www.sassnet.com. There are ways to get real ivory for your 1873, you just have to look around and those sites are a good place to start. Sorry for jumping on that, but I'm a member of SASS and CAScity and I have two USFA Colts and two 1886 (man. date) SAA's back home so I thought I'd offer some help. They would also be a great place to start to look for the Winchester as well, found my 1875 (man. date) Henry from cascity, so here's hoping you could have some luck there too.
Theres an original winchester 73 carbine hanging up above the entrance of the gift shop next to pinnacle peak steak house. Looks like its been there for at least a decade or so. Poor thing. I get a painful feeling in my chest every time I go by there and see it. It's splitting and sun bleached stock and forearm crowned by a rusty forearm cap. Receiver, barrel, and lever rusted by years of rain. :cry: It looks like it may still be functional if the action can be freed up but who knows what the ears of weather have done to it. It looks about like a 25-35 or so because from what I could see it the rusted bore was a bit smaller than a .30.
It makes me sad even thinking bout it. :cry:
