Attractive Engraved Antique Winchester Model 1885 Deluxe Schuetzen Style Rifle

The receiver was originally manufactured in 1896, subsequently being masterfully custom embellished with near full coverage floral scroll engraving, and the rest of the rifle being upgraded to "deluxe Schuetzen" configuration. The No. 3 weight octagon barrel has the standard Winchester address on the top flat and the caliber marking at the breech. The serial number is on the lower tang. The lever is an elaborate scroll style with finger groove grips, and it is fitted with double set triggers. It is fitted with a globe front sight, elevation adjustable notch rear sight, and a B.S.A. peep sight on the upper tang. It is mounted with a nicely figured, checkered Schnabel tip forearm with ebony insert and a mounting point for a palm rest, as well as a finely figured, checkered pistol grip stock with steel grip cap, shadow line cheek piece, high comb, and a Swiss/Schuetzen style buttplate.

ConditionFine, the barrel retains 75% of the original blue finish with the balance a smooth grey patina and a few scattered patches of light pitting. 90% plus of the period refinished vibrant case colors remain on the lever and hammer, and the receiver retains 90% of the period refinished blue finish with crisp engraving. The wood is also fine with some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
