Wish I could post a picture of my refinished 1885 lowwall with a oil finish. (I'd have to get the wife involved and than isn't going to happen, what's in my safe is my business) I think it looks better than the NIB $2,000.00 one. And I still have the box. I'm not selling, but even with the scope I wouldn't ask more than $1,500 and if I wanted to buy one I wouldn't pay more than $900.00.
If you don't want to pay more than $900.00 for a new Winchester/Browning 1885 low wall or high wall, you won't be buying many.
It seems that everybody thinks they are worth over $1500.00 for the used rifles now. Some, the BPCR's, are going for $2300.00 or more.
Personally, I agree with your pricing opinion. And, I am looking for a 357 low wall, and a 30-40 (30 US Army) high wall.
Right now, I have eight Winchester/Browning Model 1885s. Three are low wall's and five are high wall's. Fortunately for me, I bought them before Winchester/U.S. Repeating Arms was put out of business by FN.
