I would like to know the year of manufacture for a Winchester 1885. The serial number is #116957.It is not a flat spring, so later manufacture I guess.
Thanks
Hello Ed,
Can you please provide me with the details for S/N 116957 ? I would like to add it to my research survey.
Thanks,

Hello Bert,
The rifle has been redone sometime in the near past. The bbl is 24′ and new and unmarked as to the maker. It is, and marked 38-55.
The receiver has been re-blued. The rear stock, to me appears not to be original, but with a recoil pad on it is difficult for me to tell. It supports a Lyman 15 power Superspot scope. Definitely not a collector rifle!
