Rare Documented Special Order Factory Engraved Winchester Model 1905 Self-Loading Rifle

Manufactured in 1906. The receiver is engraved with vine leaf and scroll designs on the receiver surrounding oval panels of game animal scenes. The left side has two running deer in a wooded scene and two standing deer in a wooded scene on the right side. The top of the receiver has simple scroll designs and a wavy line and dot design border. The trigger guard has a wavy line and simple scroll design. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address/patent dates followed by "35 CAL." ahead of the front sight and the Winchester proof is marked on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech. The breech end of the barrel has a wedge of simple scroll on each side and a platinum inlaid band. Folding combination front sight, adjustable rear sporting sight and upper tang mounted short range peep sight. Matching serial numbers. Mounted with a fancy bordered checkered walnut forearm with engraved steel forend cap, and pistol grip stock with a hard rubber Winchester grip cap and checkered buttplate. The accompany factory letter verifies the caliber, fancy pistol grip stock, Lyman rear sight, combination front sight, engraving, #5 carved style (stock), that it was received in the warehouse on November 17, 1906, and shipped out two days later.

ConditionFine with 40% original blue finish remaining, showing some muzzle wear, and a few minor dings on the barrel and some light spotting on the barrel and rear sight. The receiver and magazine have areas of smooth brown and gray patina. The forend cap is a mix of smooth brown patina and thin original blue finish. The wood is very good with scattered scratches, dings and dents as well as a few large deep scratches on the stock and a 1 1/2 inch crack on the left side of the wrist. The checkering shows some bruising but is crisp for the most part. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
