Custom Engraved Winchester Model 1885 High Wall Single Shot Rifle with Unertl Scope

This rifle was manufactured after 1919 and subsequently custom engraved and rebarreled. The engraving is a large floral scroll with a punch dot background covering the sides and top of the receiver. The custom Johnson barrel has no provisions for sights and is equipped with a 12 power Unertl scope with screw on lens caps and is mounted on adjustable Unertl scope rings. The left breech end of the barrel is marked ".219 ZIP/C.C. JOHNSON.". The upper tang is marked "REG. IN U.S. PAT. OFF./WINCHESTER/-TRADE MARK-" and the serial number is marked on the lower tang. Mounted with a replacement checkered walnut beaver tail forearm with contrasting forend tip and a high comb pistol grip stock with a cheekpiece and Pachmayr recoil pad.

ConditionProfessionally refinished and embellished with 95% blue finish remaining, showing some thinning on the tangs and receiver high edges. The wood is excellent with a few minor dings and a couple light scratches overall, and crisp checkering. The scope is excellent with 98% original blue finish and clear optics. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. The action is fine.
