Description:
Superlative custom Winchester 1885 High Wall .222 Remington Magnum. Stocked by Lenard Brownell (per the included letter from Joe Albanese of Abercrombie & Fitch), the heavily-figured walnut is appointed with a sweeping ebony forend tip, 26 lines-per-inch wrap checkering with ribbons, Monte Carlo comb and a scalloped check rest with shadow line. ENGRAVING: Attribed to Jaeger (Germany), the action showcases gold relief figures (hawk on right, marmot on left) surrounded by oak leaves and intricate gold wire bordering. The supporting pattern extends over the mounts, some eight inches along the barrel and reappears at the muzzle. A fox hunts along the lever, a resting falcon (gold relief) dominates the grip cap and a crow rides the trap door. OPTIC: A period Stith / Kollmorgen 6x with straight "crosshair" reticle is positioned in the mounts. (Scope main tube diameter is 1.027 inches and the objective diameter is 1.75 inches. Lens coatings are very good, mild internal film is present and it remains optically quite clear). DIMENSIONS: Weight is 8.6 pounds and the length-of-pull is 13.4 inches. CONDITION: The bore is strong and bright. Mechanics are smooth and responsive. Metal and wood finishes are each approximately 98 percent. No serial number. The price is firm and layaway is available. $9,000 plus shipping.
