Manufactured in 1923. Chambered for the powerful 405 WCF caliber, this Winchester Model 1895 takedown rifle is fitted with a blade front sight, elevation adjustable rear sight and Lyman receiver peep sight. The Winchester factory proof is stamped on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech, the barrel has the nickel steel barrel marking followed by "405 W.C.F." on the left side, and the receiver has the two-line address/patent dates marking on the left side. The three-line model/patent marking is on the upper tang and the serial number is on the lower tang. Mounted with a Schnabel forearm with ebony insert and straight grip stock with special order hard rubber shotgun buttplate featuring the Winchester logo.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The rifle retains 70% original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance. A minor chip is missing from the buttplate. The refinished wood is very good with a hairline crack on the wrist, a couple small slivers of wood missing near the upper tang and some minor handling marks. Mechanically fine.
