The accompanying factory letter states this musket was received in the warehouse on December 9, 1909 and shipped on February 4, 1910 with a no. 1, 28 inch barrel in .22 LR and "special rear" sight. The musket is fitted with military style sights on the barrel and a Lyman tang peep sight. Standard Winchester markings including the factory oval proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech. Forearm featuring two barrel bands retained by band springs and correctly lacks finger grooves. Sling swivels mounted to the underside of both barrel bands and buttstock. Cleaning rod included.

Excellent, retaining 97% original blue finish with some scattered thinning to brown. 70% original case colors remain on the lever, breechblock, hammer and buttplate. The wood is also excellent with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent. A solid example of a Model 1885 High Wall musket that will make a great addition to your growing Winchester collection.
