Manufactured in 1912. The left rear of the barrel is marked with the two line nickel steel, smokeless powder marking followed by "405 W.C.F." at the breech, and the two line address/patent dates are marked on the upper left side of the receiver. The Winchester oval proof is marked on top of the barrel and offset on the top left of the receiver at the breech and "MODEL 1895/WINCHESTER/TRADE MARK REG. IN U.S. PAT. OFF." on the upper tang. Blade front, adjustable sporting rear sights and receiver mounted Lyman peep sight. Mounted with a smooth walnut forearm with ebony insert Schnabel tip and straight grip stock with a smooth crescent buttplate.

Very good. The rifle retains 30% plus original blue finish mixed with a plum patina. There are a couple minor scratches and minor spotting on the barrel, and some light pin prick type pitting on the receiver and magazine. The wood has been refinished with a coat of varnish and remains very good and showing a few minor gouges and a chip on top forward of buttplate. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
