Manufactured in 1921 and chambered for the highly desirable .405 WCF cartridge, the most powerful cartridge ever offered in a Winchester lever action rifle and suitable for hunting dangerous game in North America, Africa or Asia. President Teddy Roosevelt used a Winchester Model 1895 rifle chambered for the .405 W.C.F. cartridge extensively during his famous African safari. The left side of the receiver is marked with the standard two-line address and patent dates. The left side of the barrel has the two-line nickel steel marking and "405 WCF." The upper tang has the three-line model designation and trademark information, and the serial number is on the lower tang. The rifle is fitted with non-factory Redfield blade front and elevation adjustable rear sights. The receiver is fitted with a Lyman sight. A Winchester factory oval proof is stamped on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech. It is mounted with an H-pattern checkered forearm with ebony insert and a straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Fine, retains 50% plus of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, mostly on the top and forward portion of the receiver. The period, non-factory recheckered wood is very good with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout and mostly crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
