Rare and Very Fine Winchester High Wall Model 1885 Schuetzen Rifle

Manufactured in 1910. Equipped with a combination Beech front sight, elevation adjustable rear sight, scope blocks, mid-range tang sight , #4 weight barrel, double set triggers and Winchester round palm rest. The upper left barrel flat is marked with the two-line address/patent date information ahead of the rear sight and "32-40" at the breech. The Winchester factory oval proof appears on the upper left barrel flat and top of the receiver at the breech. The serial number is marked on the lower tang. Blue finished with casehardened lever, breechblock and buttplate. Mounted with a highly figured full and checkered Schuetzen style Laudensack cheekpiece stock, 1 1/2 inch rise to the comb and 13 inch pull to the front trigger. The stock is fitted with a Swiss style buttplate, ebony forend tip insert and hard rubber Winchester grip cap. The rifle was featured in the November 1990 issue of "Guns and Ammo" and includes a letter giving such credit. Formerly of the Peter and Patty Murray Collection.

ConditionVery fine. The rifle retains 85% plus original blue finish showing some minor thinning. The breechblock and lever retain traces of bright original case colors, and the buttplate has faded to a smooth brown gray patina. The wood is also very fine showing some minor handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Provenance: Robert M. Lee Collection.
