Description
Very Fine Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall Rifle
Lot # 1 (Sale Order: 1 of 600)
serial #98776, 22 short, 28" No. 2 weight octagon barrel with a very good bore. This rifle is equipped with a factory single set trigger, special sights and remains in a very high state of original condition. The barrel retains about 95% original blue finish overall with loss on the high edges, some light thinning and some very light surface abrasions. The action shows 97% bright original blue finish with one light ding in the ring of the action and most other loss coming on the high edges. The breechblock shows vivid original case color with the colors on the hammer and lever being slightly softened. The plain walnut buttstock and forend rate excellent with 97% original finish remaining and with nice raised grain coming through. There is one notable bruise in the right side of the butt near the toe of the buttplate. The rifle is sighted with a globe target front with removable insert, standard open sporting rear and a Lyman folding tang mounted peepsight. This is just a lovely little Low Wall rifle.

Lovely Ithaca Grade 5 New Ithaca Double Trap Model Double Ejectorgun
Lot # 5 (Sale Order: 5 of 600)
serial #453707, 12 ga., 32'' ventilated rib barrels choked a light full in both with bright excellent mirror-like bores. This is another beautiful New Ithaca Double in a high state of condition which appears to have seen very little or perhaps no use. The barrels retain about 98-99% original blue with no appreciable loss, showing perhaps a very light scattered handling mark here or there. The factory ventilated rib features dual ivory beads and there are light bands of engraving at the breeches. The Grade 5 frame shows typical loose open flowing floral and foliate Ithaca scroll with game birds left and right and the American Eagle on belly of frame with Ithaca's Made in USA legend and company address. The triggerguard retains all of its original blue and is neatly engraved as well with the factory selective trigger remaining bright with nice checkering on its face. The checkered English walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock and full beavertail style forend rate excellent with a very light handling mark here or there and crisp fleur-de-lis ribbon checkering patterns; there is a very tiny drying crack at the rear edge of the forend. The length of pull from the trigger to the factory Hawkins recoil pad is 14 3/4'', with drops of 1 7/16'' and 2'', the pad having collapsed from the weight of the shotgun and the years. The arm is equipped with single selective trigger, ejectors and cocking indicators and locks up tightly and is on-face with the top lever still right of center. The light burnishing on the breeches of the barrels remains evident and there are scant, very light drag marks on the standing breech from very light ejector rub from the years. The gun seems to function well mechanically and is a beautiful investment-grade example of a very seldom-encountered ventilated rib NID in trap configuration. (3E9558-20) {C&R} [Senator Frederic C. Walcott Collection] (4000/6000)
