RARE Winchester, Model 1885 SMOOTHBORE, marked .32-40 Cal., MFG. 1909, SN: 103848, Lever Single Shot Rifle/shotgun, 26'' Round #1 barrel. The rifle comes with a 1969 Winchester Gun Museum which confirms the rifles configuration, particullary of importance is the reference to it indeed being recorded as a ''Smoothbore''. The wood stocks are very good, solid & original. The original finish has worn thin from use, with added oils. There are numerous small handling marks, scratches & contusions. Ebony insert at tip of forearm. The barrel is mostly speckled brown over a worn gun metal gray. The receiver & lever have worn mostly gray with some speckles of brown patina. The smooth bore is very good & bright. In addition to the #1 marking on the underside of the barrel, the barrel is also stamped with the caliber marking under the forearm. The barrel carries an adjustable rear & blade front sight. Crescent metal buttplate, Single trigger. Comes with an extremely rare original UMC 32-40 box of ammo with 10 original rounds loaded with No. 10 shot & a wood bullet or wad/plug. The box carries a green label with a small red overlabel indicating ''No. 10 SHOT''. We have never seen this box with overlabel before, despite our 22+ years selling the rarest of ammo boxes. This is an extremely rare smoothbore 1885 rifle & very collectible. FFL or C&R Req - Value: 3000 to 10000
