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.
