WINCHESTER MODEL 1885 HI-WALL SINGLE SHOT RIFLE. SN 64956. Cal. 38-55. Standard grade rifle with 30" #3 weight oct bbl, German silver Rocky Mountain front sight and semi-buckhorn rear sight. Mounted with very nicely figured, slab-sawed, uncheckered American walnut with black insert schnabel tip forearm and straight stock with crescent buttplate. Lower tang is mounted with sgl set trigger. While the Model 1885 Hi-Wall is not an uncommon item, they are very rarely found in orig configuration with high orig finish.

Bbl retains 97-98% strong orig blue with only faint sharp edge wear; receiver retains strong, bright case colors, lightly faded over the top and top tang with light fading on the sides; lever retains about all of its orig case colors turned a little dark; buttplate retains moderately faded case colors. Wood is sound with a few nicks & scratches and the buttstock retains about all of its orig factory varnish; forearm shows light wear to the finish from carrying & handling. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, shows very little use. 4-47076 JR155
