Like the title says, would anyone known what twist that Winchester used in these .44 Henry rim-fire rifles during their production run between 1868 and 1898?

The Italian replicas in .44-40 WCF are very likely quite different in this regard, and I can't find the info on-line anywhere. That means that this information must exist only in a collector's book somewhere, or in the mind of a knowledgeable collector of antique Winchester rifles. Or, perhaps you know.

Much obliged for your kind assistance, Pilgrim.

Mine is 1:34", but has significant throat erosion - so likely throws it off a bit.
