Baron Von Nolken’s Winchester,Baron Von Nolken was Winchester’s chief sales representative in Germany as well as a brilliant gun designer. In 1871 he submitted this design as a possible improvement on the earlier Model 1866. Von Nolken’s Winchester utilized the same tube magazine and loading port arrangement as the earlier M1866, however it was a hammerless design which used an internal striker firing pin. To protect the striker firing pin, he attached a tubular shroud at the rear of the receiver which surrounded the firing pin. Von Nolken’s design was never considered for manufacture, instead losing out to the popular Winchester Model 1873. -- source link
