This rifle was manufactured in 1906, as stated in the included factory letter and is chambered for the very desirable .405 Winchester cartridge. Theodore Roosevelt had a high regard for the .405 Model 1895 and used them during his African safari and numerous other hunting trips. He wrote, "The Winchester stocked and sighted to suit myself is by all odds the best weapon I ever had, and now use it almost exclusively." This example has a beaded blade front sight and an adjustable sporting rear sight. The caliber and nickel steel markings are on the barrel along with the Winchester Proof which is at the breech and on the receiver. The receiver is also marked with the two-line address and patent markings on the left side and the model designation on the upper tang. It is fitted with a smooth straight grip stock with ebony insert in the Schnabel tip forearm and red rubber recoil pad. The factory letter states the rifle was shipped from the warehouse February 21, 1906.
