Winchester Model 1885 Deluxe Low Wall Rifle

Manufactured in 1892. The no. 1 barrel is stamped with the two-line address marking ahead of the rear sight and "25 WCF" at the breech. Equipped with beaded blade Lyman front, elevation adjustable rear and Lyman tang sights. The lower tang is marked with the patent date and the serial number. Mounted on highly figured and checkered forearm and pistol grip stock. The buttstock has an ebony insert in the grip and a crescent buttplate. The left side of the lower tang is marked "942XXX." The stock inlet is marked "942." The buttplate is marked "0/980." In "The Winchester Book" author George Madis notes that deluxe low wall rifles were ordered less frequently than high wall rifles.

ConditionFine. The barrel retains 50% faded original blue mostly thinning to a brown. The remaining surfaces retain 70% original case colors. The wood is fine with a small hairline crack near the upper tang, some minor dings and scratches and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
