I picked up this 1885 high wall in 25-35 a couple of days back. It has been suggested that this configuration may be rare. Any thoughts?

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

The scope blocks that came with it were .475 wide instead on the Unertl/Lyman,etc .465 standard. The Winchester barrel stamps are offset so as to not be under the blocks. Is this an indication that the blocks were a factory install?
Thanks

No, it is not an indication the scope blocks are factory. Winchester had moved the barrel roll markings to the left side of the barrels on all of the post 1907 production rifles.
What is the serial number on that rifle? That will tell me when it was manufactured, and possibly what the original configuration of the rifle was.
