Post-World War I WINCHESTER M1885 LOW WALL .38-40 WCF Single Shot C&R Rifle
ROARING TWENTIES Era Rifle Made in 1919
Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall Rifle, originally chambered in .25-20 S.S. and later rebored to .38-40 WCF, made in 1919 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 of 1885 to June of 1920.
There were two basic frame types, referred to as “High Wall” and “Low Wall”, made. The frame types refer to the height of the receiver sides, and its relationship to the breech block. With the High Wall version, built for the more powerful cartridges, just the top of the breech block is visible when viewed from the side. The Low Wall, chambered for all of the various rim fire cartridges, and most of the pistol caliber center fire cartridges, exposes the upper 1/3 of the breech block.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. Bright, sharply rifled bore. Dark original brown patina. Markings are legible. The buttstock is in very good shape. Some minor splitting is present at the tip of the forend. No. 1 marked octagonal barrel.
