Winchester Model 1885 High Wall Rifle with Unusual Special Order Features Included a "Matted" Barrel

Manufactured in 1914. The #4 barrel has a windgauge globe front sight with spirit level, rarely seen factory "matted" textured upper flats, the factory markings off-set to the left flat due to the texturing, and a pair of scope bases. The receiver has the "WP" proof on the ring, the serial number and "A" on the lower tang, "J.P.P." marked on the left side of the lower tang, a single set trigger, and a Vernier peep sight. It is mounted with the standard sporting style Schnabel tip forearm with ebony insert and straight grip stock with a nickel plated Swiss buttplate.

ConditionFine with 70% plus original blue finish, smooth brown patina in the fading areas, strong original case colors on the breechblock, 75% plus of the lightly fading original nickel on the buttplate with some aged brass showing through, mild marks and scratches throughout, and crisp markings. The refinished wood is very good with mild wear including general scratches and pressure marks, a slight flake on the left rear corner of the forearm, and some small divots. Needs minor work as firing pin is missing. Overall a very attractive and rare Winchester Model 1885 with numerous special order features but plain wood likely ordered by a serious competitor.
