Brent, This rifle is pure Sedgley in that the action is the thick wall, coil spring they bought from Winchester when the latter stopped production of the 1885, the bluing, the stock work, and the rib are all standard Sedgley. The strange part is the barrel. It has no Sedgley markings. Instead, it has the Winchester legend, late style. The chambering is 25 Krag, not a Sedgley offering. Almost covered by the rib is AO Niedner's Malden Mass stamp. The 25 Krag was his development. What I can't figure is that Sedgley began offering the high wall rifle in 1932. Niedner left Malden in 1920. So, how does this come together? Any theory welcome. PS: Thanks for posting.
