Hello Laura,

The top two rifles are not a Model 1885 (which is a Single Shot rifle), but instead, they are a Model 95 and a Model 1895 (the only difference between the two is when they were manufactured). The top rifle (Model 95) was manufactured sometime after April of 1919. If you provide me with the serial numbers of each rifle, I can provide you with a very close estimate of the date of manufacture.

If you are looking for a reasonably close value estimate on each, please repost several clear (well lit) pictures of each rifle in a separate topic post per rifle. I have found that it is best to take the photos in outdoor (natural lighting), and use a light blue or medium gray background (a white background is too bright, and the contrast is too harsh). I also need to know the following information about each rifle;

1. Barrel length (as measured from the muzzle face to the breech opening).
2. Caliber (or a picture of the caliber stamp).
3. Complete serial number.

The following areas are what I need to see in the photos (as a minimum) to properly evaluate each rifle;

1. Both sides of the receiver/frame.
2. Caliber stamp on the barrel (or frame ring on the 1895s)
3. Winchester address stamp on the barrel.
4. Front sight.
5. Rear sight(s)
6. Butt plate
7. Any noticable defects in the stocks or metal surfaces.

Laura...I fear that if you had posted that many photo's of a series of 1885 Winchesters, Bert might have passed out! If you have lots of those around, please WARN BERT bfore you post them...he's starting to get up there in years and we really enjoy having him here on the forum and I'm thinking those kind of photo's might cause him a Myocardial Infarction! For that matter, my heart is beating a little irregularly too! Nice toys...I'm jealous![:p][:p][:p]
