Your Model 1885 high-wall is a Plain Sporting Rifle, manufactured in late 1890 or early 1891.  It is listed as a 40-65 WCF in the factory records.  The value is highly dependent upon the graded condition of the rifle… pictures are needed to evaluate it.

As a “Guest”, you will need to first post them on a photo host website, and then post a link to them here on the WACA forum.  Or, you can send them to me…
