Scarce 22 Winchester Single Shot Model 1885 High Wall Musket with Factory Letter

The included factory letter confirms the musket configuration and caliber, with the shipped number 1 barrel length listed as 25", and the rear sight listed as "special". The rifle was received in warehouse on March 28, 1911 and shipped on August 30, 1911. The two line address/patent dates marking is ahead of the rear sight which is graduated to 1,000 yards with "22 LONG R. / 22 [unidentified proof] at the breech. Factory proof on barrel and receiver with the unidentified barrel proof repeated on the receiver and breechblock. Upper tang has three line patent/trademark information. Smooth forearm and straight grip stock with sling swivels and crescent buttplate.

ConditionVery fine. The rifle retains 70% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. Flashes of original case colors remain on the lever, hammer, and breechblock. The stock is very good with a small hairline crack on the wrist, numerous minor handling marks, and a few minor gouges.
