For Sale: Early Custom Winchester High Wall with a Hammond Rear Sight

The rifle has an original Winchester 30-inch full-octagonal No.3 barrel chambered in .22 Short with an excellent bore.

The double-set triggers are old custom and they remind me of Zettler Bros. A few gunsmiths, like Zettler, were making double-set triggers for Winchester Single Shot rifles before Winchester offered them. This is one of those examples. The set-triggers work as designed. They also added a finger rest on the bottom of the lever.

The action has smokey faint traces of case color. It looks more washed out in the photos.

The buttstock is old custom and very well done. The forearm is likely original Winchester with checkering added to match the checkered pistol grip.

Then there’s the rear sight. This is a Hammond rear sight with windage in the base and a worm gear on the staff for elevation (like a Maynard). This sight is pictured in American Rifle Sights by Tom Rowe, page 248. It’s also the only known example. Less common than an original Soule sight. The front sight is a Winchester globe sight.

Price: $4,200 includes shipping via US Priority Mail

First "I'll take it" posted here gets it.

Thank you,
Joe D
