This is an absolutely beautiful example of a highly custom embellished Winchester lever action rifle. This specific Model 1895 rifle is pictured in the accompanying book "Winchester Highly Finished Arms" on page 9 and 10. It has been custom embellished in a Winchester number 5 pattern that depicts an oval panel game scene on each side with the left side showing two large running bull elks with two standing pronghorn antelope on the right side. Both panel scenes are surrounded by an intricate vine and leaf engraved pattern, which covers approximately half of the rifles metal surface. Additionally, the breech end of the barrel has a single silver band directly in front of the receiver. It has also been stocked in a beautiful matching set of extra fancy/3x walnut stock and forend. The buttstock has the correct pistol grip pattern with a Winchester grip cap and a crescent buttplate. Both components having been beautifully checkered in a very fine scroll pattern. The wood has been highly hand polished and varnished. It is fitted with a tapered round barrel that is roll marked on top with the standard two-line markings. The Model 1895 was the first non-detachable box magazine rifle offered by Winchester. This rifle was manufactured in 1896 and subsequently custom embellished. The top of the barrel has the two line factory style markings of: "-MANUFACTURED BY THE-/WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A.-", with the caliber markings of "30 US" stamped in front of the receiver. The upper tang is marked "-WINCHESTER/Model 1895-" The forend is fitted with an ebony forend insert with a Winchester marked pistol grip cap.
