A special order rifle with the following features:  26” octagon takedown barrel, pistol grip buttstock with crescent butt, standard barrel sights and the desirable 38-55 caliber. Barrel has not been refinished. Still retains at least half of its finish with some patina along the upper surfaces at its midpoint. Magazine tube and takedown work fine but the tube is scratched where it goes through the front band. Front band shows repairs to retain it to the barrel. Takedown assembly is loose to the frame. The forend has hand worn all finish but does not appear to be reduced in dimensions. Buttstock still has the Winchester grip cap in nice condition but the stock has been stripped of its finish in a method that appears to be a mix of sandpaper and scraping. Just barely reduced dimensions, appears it could be refinished to look more authentic. Majority of the receiver is worn silver by handling. Bluing on the bolt is very good.

The left side of the buttstock has been lowered and scooped out so that someone with a full face would still be able to see the sights. The buttstock has been sanded and finished so it is below the metal. 3rd model with integral dust cover. (0-1484 / NW /LM) Antique. Est. $ 700 – 1000. VIEW PHOTO

Would make a great cowboy action rifle. (08-109 NW / EG)  Antique. Est. $ 1200 - 2000. VIEW PHOTO

1014     Winchester 1885 Musket Falling Block Rifle. Cal. 22S. S # 116011. Overall condition is very good. Bore is near excellent. Made after 1913 and was discontinued in 1923 with # 139700.

It is missing its rear sight and the attachment screw holes have plug screws in them now. Has a Lyman locking tang sight and a very old period Lyman load sight with circle bead post. The writing on the barrel shows that it has been refinished but the Winchester proof mark is very vivid and untouched. The forend cap has scattered pinprick oxidation. The top of the barrel between the band and the sight shows numerous metallic scratches. The receiver shows fading blue with the right side showing an even patina. The lever shows almost no case coloring and pinprick oxidation. Buttplate has very thin blue at the curvature. As only the levering on the barrel has the appearance of being refinished, it may have been redone at the factory and then proofed after. There is also some pinprick oxidation on the barrel band and swivels. Very unusual in 22S chambering. The chamber has actually been lengthened so that it takes a long rifle cartridge, or possibly it was miss-marked, most likely the former. (08-634 / NW / MW) Curio. Est. $ 900 - 1400. VIEW PHOTO

Case colors are very good on the hammer and falling block, and still some nice, light case colors on the lever along with some pinprick oxidation on the bottom. There is also some pinprick oxidation around the serial number. The crescent buttplate is in similar condition but is in much faded colors. It has a sight blank in the rear sight. The front sight is an old globe sight with cross wires. The rear sight is a 4 1/2 “ tall tang sight that, except for blue wear where ones hand would be on it, is in near excellent condition. Also, has a single set trigger. Stocks are in very good condition with perhaps some soiling in the handgrip area, very minor handling marks, and nice varnish. (08-635 / NW / MW) Curio.

The bottom of the lever and rear of the bottom tang have some pinprick oxidation. The face of the trigger has some active oxidation, but should clean easily. Forend is very good, but dark on its left sight which is part of the grain. The butt stock shows some minor handling marks and some very shallow minor dings. It has not been refinished. Both have good varnish. The bore is exceptional. Very unusual in this caliber. The exterior has not been refinished and shows most of its bluing, but there are two or three small spots of deep pitting about 6 in from the muzzle, some metallic marks on the barrel, forward of the forend, and some very minor spots of pinprick oxidation. A very nice high wall. (02-1322 / NW) Antique. Est. $ 2500 – 3500. VIEW PHOTO

A civilian model that appears to be carefully reblued, as there is no serial number on the bottom of the barrel. The frame is marked on the left under the grip with an "A" and a 60. It is possible that this gun is actually serial number 60. the number is in the same style and same location as on other guns with a much higher serial number.

The area and safety notches around the nipple are also crisp. All nipples are in near excellent condition. Mechanics are near excellent. The grips are very good with an "A" stamped on the bottom of each. Looks very good. The trigger guard has a vivid "A" stamped, and shows a patina color. The back of the cylinder is marked with an "A" and a "W," with no number present. There is a bright dragline on the cylinder, yet the timing is near excellent, likely caused by the spinning of the cylinder. Numerous metallic marks on sharps edges of the frame and some on corners of the barrel. The grips are likely refinished, as they are smaller than the grip frame.

The cylinder has a "w" next to a safety notch, and there is also a "w" on the left side of the ramrod at the beginning of the rod portion. The upper portion of the nose of the hammer has been shortened or something similar as it does not fit the safety notches properly. Possibly as replacement hammer as operational timing is good but the half cocked notch is not correct as the cylinder bolt does not stay retracted at half cock when attempting to remove the cylinder. Also, the hammer spring is a replacement from some other gun or a handmade type, not Remington. The cartouche grips are pencil numbered to the gun. (01-1536 / NW / DS) Antique. Est. $ 1500 - 2000.

Where the fit is just a wee bit off, but if the locating pin hole were changed and glass bedded, the fit should be fine. The general appearance of the firearm is that it is nickel plated, likely the gold wash was applied over the nickel. Often considered a black powder transition model. (01-1521 / NW / RC) Antique.
