I recently purchased a  1885 .22 short. I am looking for more information on the rifle and it’s value. Serial# 57524 

It has an ebony dovetail 

Rear flip up peep sight

28″ barrel 

Front sight is a cylindrical housed 

The but stock is brass and has some fancy curls 

There is the #2 stamped in front of the ebony dovetail

The gun has a browned finish and overall nice finish not much marring. The inside barrel is pitted some but, the gun is impressively accurate.

Can you provide clear detailed pictures of your Model 1885 rifle?

From your initial description, your rifle is a low-wall rifle with a fair number of special order (desirable) features.
