This is an amazing historic resource and an invaluable reference tool for the gunsmith, re-enactor, single-shot rifle enthusiast, cowboy action shooter or blackpowder fan! This package contains a wide selection of drawings related to the legendary Winchester 1885 Single-Shot Rifle, also frequently known as the High Wall. This is the first rifle patented by legendary firearms inventor John Moses Browning, and it began his long relationship with the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. Included in this auction are 20 pages of large format 11x17 drawings. They include six pages of precise measured drawings of every part of the gun for both single-trigger and double-set trigger models. That includes drawings for the triggers, receiver, barrel, finger lever, lower tang, knockoff, hammer fly, extractor, link, breechblock, hammer, firing pin, butt stock, forearm, butt plate, and all the pins, screws, and springs. All dimensions are clear and readable. Supplementing these drawings are nine pages of copies of what appear to be original Winchester factory drawings, most dating to 1906. These factory drawing copies are not as clear as the precision dimensioned drawings, but they are included for their historic value and interest. Following those are three pages of clearly dimensioned gunsmith drawings that detail key parts of the gun, including the firing pin, extractor, hammer, trigger, sear, link pins, mainspring, finger lever, and various springs, pins, and screws. Following those pages is a page with copies of the original 1879 patent filing granted to John M. Browning of Ogden, Utah. And just to make sure you know how it all goes together there is an exploded assembly drawing and some historical information about the rifle and its inventor. These drawings are so detailed and fascinating that you could study these for hours. These are professionally reproduced on 11x17 paper to be clear and readable throughout (note that some of the more than 100-year-old factory drawings don’t reproduce as clearly as the precision dimensioned drawings). The pages are shipped rolled in a protective cardboard tube to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
