Custom Winchester Model 1885 High Wall Single Shot Rifle

Manufactured in 1918. Features a #4 half octagon barrel with a blade front sight, re-cut rear sight dovetail and two scope base are mounted on the rear portion of the barrel. The upper left barrel flat at the breech is marked "22 SHORT" and the Winchester oval proof is marked on the top barrel flat and top of the receiver at the breech. The bottom of the barrel ahead of the forearm is marked "4" and "22 RF" under the forearm. The upper tang has the three line patent date, Winchester, trade mark marking, with the serial number on the lower tang. Spur lever, double set triggers and mounted with a smooth walnut forearm with ebony forend insert, added palm rest and replacement Schuetzen style pistol grip stock with high cheek piece and long prong steel buttplate.

ConditionVery good as modified with refinished barrel, see above, with 90% original blue finish remaining on the action, showing some thinning to a smooth plum and the barrel and edge wear on the receiver. The 22 short chamber has been changed to 22LR. The lever retains 40% original case colors with a smooth dove gray on the balance. The breech block retains almost all of the original vivid case colors. The buttplate appears to have been nickel plated and now has a smooth mottled brown patina. The wood has had a coat of varnish applied some time ago and remains very good with some scattered minor dents and scratches. The buttplate is ill-fitting. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
