Gun "A" was manufactured in 1921, has a bore pull through contained in the buttplate compartment and retains the original period hanging tag numbered to gun. All five guns fit in a period correct Winchester crate specifically marked for Model 1895 .30 Army carbines chambered in .30 Army. The crate was originally intended to ship 10 guns, which leaves five more guns to find to complete this set! Four casters have been added to the bottom of the crate, and the original wooden top has been replaced with a piece of glass for display purposes. Four period Winchester "General Instructions" booklets are also included.

Excellent, retaining 98% plus original blue finish showing light cycling wear. The wood is very fine with a long hairline stress crack running along the grain extending from the upper tang, otherwise the slightest handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The crate is fine.
