• US WINCHESTER MODEL 1885 MUSKET .22
  US WINCHESTER MODEL 1885 MUSKET .22 LR RIFLEFeatured in this lot is an U.S. Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall musket chambered in .22 Long Rifle. The rifle features a 28-inch round barrel with a covered front sight and Lyman precision receiver sight. The Winchester Repeating Arms Co. Model 1885 is a single-shot falling-block action, which was offered in two distinct variations, the Low Wall and the High Wall, and was designed by John Browning and produced from 1885-1918. In 1883, Thomas G. Bennet, the Vice-President, and General Manager of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, traveled to Ogden, Utah to meet with the Browning Brother’s about the negotiation and purchase of the single-shot design, as well as a prototype of what would become the Model 1886 lever action. This meeting began what was to be a very fruitful 20-year Winchester and Browning collaboration. The rifle was produced to satisfy the demands created for the growing sport of long-range “Match Shooting” and was dominated by the single-shot giants, such as Sharps, Remington, Stevens, Maynard, and Ballard. They entered as not only competitors, but also excelled, with Major Ned H. Roberts (inventor of the .257 Roberts cartridge) describing the Model 1885 as “the most reliable, strongest, and altogether best single shot rifle ever produced”. The action was considered so strong and trustworthy that Winchester used the Model 1885 as the test rifle for all new large calibers. The rifle features the band fastened grooved full length walnut forearm and straight grip sportier style walnut stock with original crescent steel butt plate. The rifle receiver shows some of the original finish color fading to a gray coloration, with the barrel having the same dark original finish and some gray. The wood shows patina from wear and use. The bore is bright with good rifling. Serial Number: 123178. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

• WINCHESTER 1895 CARBINE, 1ST MODEL,
  WINCHESTER 1895 CARBINE, 1ST MODEL, .38-72 WCF An absolutely wonderful example of the Winchester 1895 rifle as it would've first appeared on the commercial market. This design of rifle is notable in a few respects, one for being Winchesters first offering designed for the then newly-introduced spitzer bullets and two for being one of John Browning's last designs for Winchester. This particular firearm is in a carbine configuration with an octagon barrel, flat-side receiver and smooth walnut handguard and buttstock with curved steel buttplate. The sights are a simple flip-up V-notches for 100 and 200 yard elevations with a driftable front blade. The blued finish is all but completely worn off with only a few spots still visible on the hammer and on sections of the lever mechanism. Mechanically there are no noticeable issues with the action still feeling remarkably smooth for its age. There is frosting visible in the rifling though the lanes and grooves are still defined. Some minor dings to the buttstock. S/N: 2517, Caliber: .38-72 WCF, BBL: 20", OAL: 39"

• EARLY WINCHESTER 1886 .45-70
  EARLY WINCHESTER 1886 .45-70 LEVER ACTION RIFLEEarly Winchester 1886 octagon rifle in the rare and desirable big .45-70 caliber. The low serial number 42842 indicates a manufacture date of 1890. A scarce and desirable western big game chambering in the Mode 1886, the .45-70 Government cartridge was one of the most powerful used by Winchester in this largest of John Browning’s designed lever action rifles. The big Model 1886 action was the strongest and most potent lever action rifle of the day. Few surviving examples in this powerful black powder caliber remain today and are seldom offered on the collector market. The standard and correct 26” octagon barrel displays a deep and rich blue finish and retains excellent Winchester markings that include: “MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO., NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A.” The upper tang is stamped with the earliest style marking and states simply, “MODEL 1886.” The bolt located on the top of the receiver also shows excellent deep blue finish. The receiver case colors have faded to an attractive mottled silvery/gray appearance with thin case color and still retains a good amount of surface dried grease from years of storage! The receiver also has excellent screw heads. The action is fully functional and tight. The butt stock has the correct early heavy crescent-style butt plate and shows only minor typical chipping around the upper tang. The forend is excellent. The bore is surprisingly fine with deep rifling all the way through with any roughness being light and surface. Further, this early 1886 is fitted with a buckhorn rear barrel sight with the sliding elevator bar intact. It is mated with the typical small blade Winchester front sight. The top of the octagon barrel ahead of the receiver is clearly and correctly stamped with the caliber designation “45-70” The 1886 in .45-70 chambering was very popular in the American West with riflemen who wanted the power that the heavy bullet .45-70 Government round provided. These black powder caliber rifles are rarely found with fine condition bores, especially in the largest chamberings. This is an exceptionally early and seriously powerful frontier rifle in particularly fine and visually appealing condition that is worthy of the finest Winchester or western firearms collection. Serial Number: 42842. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
