i feel that we need more information. a picture would help a lot. i think that is the right patent date for a winchester single shot - they were never called high wall and low wall by winchester - but do not have my book here to look it up. the only .32 short i know of is .32 rimfire for which ammunition is not common. we could look up the serial number and tell year made.

piddler, it sounds like you're describing a Winchester Model 1885. I agree with Jim, a picture would be a great help.
