This is an attractive example of an antique Winchester Model 1885 High Wall rifle in popular .32-40 cartridge that was manufactured in 1894. The rifle has a 30 inch octagon, no. 3 weight barrel, which is marked with the two-line address ahead of the rear sight and "32-40" at the breech. It has a Winchester commercial blue finished barrel and casehardened receiver. Features windage adjustable globe front sight, filler block in the rear sight dovetail and Vernier tang peep sight. The rifle is fitted with a straight grip plain walnut stock and matching straight grain forearm.

Very fine. The barrel retains 80% original blue finish with thinning to brown on the balance. The receiver retains 70% original case colors. A protective coat of varnish covers much of the metal surfaces. The wood is also very fine with minimal handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
