Special Winchester Model 1885 High Wall Single Shot Rifle with Factory Letter

The included factory letter confirms serial number, caliber, 30" no. 3 barrel, and set trigger with rifle received in warehouse on February 27, 1888 and shipped March 16, 1888 (order no. 5761) with no address given. Blade front sight (missing bead) and buckhorn rear sight with two line barrel address marking. Smooth Schnabel forearm with ebony insert and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

ConditionGood. Overall the rifle has a smooth dark patina with traces of original blue and original case colors in the respective protective areas. There is extensive pin point pitting on the barrel and buttplate. The re-oiled wood is fine with a few minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
