c1892 Antique WINCHESTER 1885 LOW WALL .25 Rimfire SINGLE SHOT C&R Rifle
John M. Browning’s First Design and Patent
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall Rifle, chambered in .25 Caliber Rimfire, made in 1892 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Model 1885 Single Shot rifle was famed gun designer 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 Browning and the Winchester Repeating Arms Company together for the beginning of their eventual 19-year association. Nearly 140,000 Model 1885s (both Low Walls and High Walls) were manufactured from September 1885 to June of 1920.
This one shows “J.P.P.” initials on the bottom of the barrel along with an order number. J.P. Parker worked for Winchester on items received back for rework from approximately the 1880s to the 1910s. The barrel weight number on this rifle is “1” and it is just under the tip of the forearm.
The overall condition is near fine. Very nice original blue finish and case colors. The action is excellent and the bore is in fine shape: shiny bright with sharp rifling. The walnut stock has a sliver absent from the right side of the forestock and there is some fraying at the back of the upper tang; showing use. This one has a Marbles buckhorn rear sight and a tang-mounted rear peep sight.
