This is a very nice example of a custom Winchester High Wall rifle originally manufactured in 1893. The custom metal work was done by Thomas Burgess and the wood was done by Monty Kennedy. The barrel features a ramped pop-up front sight and a fold down rear sight and Redfield 6x scope on the rear quarter rib. There is a quick release sling swivel on the bottom of the barrel and the top of the quarter rib is marked "THOS. M. BURGESS RIFLEMAKER/CALIBER 225 WIN/FRED CAVENDISH". The tangs have been shortened and the serial number is marked directly behind the hammer. The sides of the breechblock are jeweled. Close-coupled double set triggers, custom lever and mounted with triple-x-beautiful fancy checkered Tiger Myrtle forearm (has Monty Kennedy markings) and pistol grip stock with a cheek piece, checkered steel grip cap and buttplate, which has a compartment and a quick release sling swivel. The included American Custom Gunmakers Guild certificate from the Office of the Historian recognizes the firearm described above to be the work of stockmaker Monty Kennedy and metalsmith Tom Burgess as represented and has been recorded in the ACGG's Custom Gun Archive.
