Can someone tell me the major barrel shank diameter for an original 1885 Win?

If it's the large barrel it's 0.935"; the small shank version is 0.825." Both were fitted to High Walls although the smaller one was more commonly found on the Low Wall.

These are nominal diameters; individual receivers may vary a few thou.
