SCARCE LARGE CALIBRE 1887 Winchester Model 1885 Browning’s 1879 Patent .45-75 WCF (Winchester Centre Fire) Obsolete Calibre Lever Action ‘High Wall’ Falling Block Single Shot Rifle. Sn 23340:4 - 23340:4
The Model 1885 Single Shot rifle was John M. Browning’s first design and patent, and it was the first single shot to be built by Winchester. The patent for the Model 1885 rifle was what brought John M. Browning and the Winchester Repeating Arms Company together for beginning of their eventual 19-year association. Two models of the Winchester Model 1885 falling-block action were produced, the Low Wall and the High Wall ( Low Wall which showed an exposed hammer and the so-called High Wall whose steel frame covered most of the firing hammer when viewed from the side). Winchester produced nearly 140,000 Single Shot rifles from 1885 to 1920, and it was found that the falling-block Model 1885 had been built with one of the strongest actions known at that time. This is a very good example of the Winchester Model 1885. It has a 29” heavy round barrel (45 ½” overall). The barrel is signed with Winchester manufacturer detail (illustrated). The barrel's bore is clean & has light rifling. The barrel has calibre detail ‘.45-75 WCF’ and the action tang is numbered ‘11043’ which dates its manufacture to 1887. The tang also has John Browning’s patent date ‘Pat Oct 7th 79 (1879)’. The blued metal work has even aged patina. The wood work is all original and has just light bumps and bruises to be expected with age & use. It has a steel butt plate. The weapon has a blade fore sight & adjustable flip up rear sight. Its loading, cocking & firing actions work crisply. The price for this obsolete calibre rifle includes UK delivery. NB As an obsolete calibre antique rifle no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 23340:4
