question about a lever action

[robertsails]

A friend who's father passed away asked me to look up some info on a rifle today. It is a Taylors. S CO of Winchester VA made by A. Uberti in Italy. It is a Cal 44-40 The rifle is beautiful. Blued barrel. BRass all over with pictures engraved and painted on to the metal. It is titled Battle of little big horn. Cat 1583 I think it is a model 1873. It says it is something like 390 or so of 500 made. Engraving was done by A&A Engraving of Rapid city. Can anyone tell me anything about the rifle and it's value. She is doing an estate sale and I do not want to see her get taken by some guy that knows what it is worth. Thanks in advance.

After some research, I think I found the information on the rifle.

Each Battle of the Little Bighorn Tribute rifle is a handsome working recreation of the immortal Winchester Model 1873 rifle produced by the master craftsmen of A. Uberti. The handsomely blued, 24-1/4 inch tapered octagonal barrel of the Battle of the Little Bighorn Tribute Rifle is complemented perfectly by the elegantly decorated receiver. The focal point of the Tribute is the spectacular artwork featured on the receiver, including a dramatic battle scene captured in remarkable detail. Craftsmen commissioned specifically for this Tribute by America Remembers decorate each rifle in a combination of gleaming 24-karat gold and nickel, with blackened patinaed highlights to accentuate the details of the artwork.
