This Winchester Model 1885 low wall rifle was manufactured in 1919 and features a #1 weight round barrel (octagon was far more common on Model 1885s) fitted with globe front and sporting notch rear sights, tang mounted drift and elevation adjustable Lyman peep sight, and a checkered Schnabel tip forearm and pistol grip stock with a optional checkered shotgun buttplate and hard rubber Winchester grip cap. The barrel is marked with the two line address and patent marking on the left ahead of the rear sight and has "25-20 S.S." to the left of the "WP" proofmark at the breech. The underside of the barrel has an additional caliber marking along with the circled "P" stamp normally used to signify replacement barrels, but due to the late production, writer believes it to be original to gun. The frame also has the "WP" proofmark, and the patent and serial number markings are on the lower tang.

Excellent. The rifle retains 90% plus of the original blue finish which is lightly thinned on the action and edges and has faded to a brown patina on the buttplate. The breechblock and lever retain nearly all of the fiery case colors. The wood is very good and has some small pressure marks, light scratches, with crisp checkering. The action and markings are excellent.
