Winchester Standard or "Plain" Model 1885 Low Wall Sporting Rifle manufactured circa 1913-1917. The rifle has a "thickside" receiver with special order single set trigger, crescent buttplate and round No. 1 barrel. The barrel has a Rocky Mountain front sight with steel blade and a buckhorn sporting rear sight with screw-adjustable center insert. The barrel, receiver, trigger and crescent steel buttplate have the Winchester commercial blue finish. The breechblock and lever are color casehardened. The stock and forearm are straight grain American walnut. The forearm tip has an ebony inlay. The left side of the barrel is roll-stamped with the two-line legend: "MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO./NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A. PAT. OCT. 7. 1879" ahead of the rear sight. The caliber designation "32 W.C.F." is roll stamped on the left side of the barrel between the rear sight and the receiver. The oval Winchester "W/P" proofmark is stamped on the top of the barrel and the receiver. The upper receiver tang is roll-stamped: "REG. IN U.S. PAT. OFF./ -WINCHESTER-/ -TRADE MARK-" in three lines. The serial number "119474" is stamped on the lower receiver tang.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. This rifle is all original and remains in nearly new condition. At least 99% of the bright original blue finish and case colors remain. Wear is limited to some very minor scuff marks on the buttplate. With the exception of one light scratch on the left side of the forearm, the stock and forearm remain in near new condition. The barrel and receiver markings are perfect. This is an outstanding example of a Winchester Model 1885 Standard Low Wall Sporting Rifle with special order single set trigger, barrel and crescent buttplate.
