So, I was correct about the dog’s eyes, but I blew it on the coat!  Forgot to account for loving wives giving coats on the advent of hunting seasons instead of the tail end where Christmas and birthdays fall.

Mistake.  Rats!  I’ll never earn my Sherlock cap!

I’m pleased for you.  Old photos and ancestors’ guns are a bonus in Life.

 Winchester-Picture-1.jpgImage EnlargerOk, how about the other rifle in the group photo?  Looks like a Model 1905 self loader or second guess a Model 1907 .

Yes, my guess too. I don’t know how you can tell the difference in that picture between a 1905, 07, or 10.  I am guessing a 1907 but I will have to snoop around a little to see if I can find an older cousin who may know.  I do not recall him having a rifle like that when I was a kid.  Actually he lent me my first deer hunting rifle when I was 14, it was a 1894, 32-40 with I believe a 20 inch barrel.  Full octagon brl and mag.  It was shorter than normal and I have been hooked on levers ever since.  His grandson ended up with it and eventually sold it, again while I was in the service.  I remember I only had 10 shells, and I looked in all the old grocery stores and hardware stores in the area for shells but I couldn’t find any.  I only got two sighters but it worked out ok.  After a couple years I was using either a mdl 14/141 Remington pump in 30 Remington.

I have each of the self loaders and a 1905 in both 32wsl and 35wsl. The 1910 is more robust then the others. the 1905 has a 22″ barrel where the 1907 and 1910 have a 20″.  The rifle in the this great photo seems longer then my 1907s .

They are all great Winchester products, a little side interest besides my levers. Original ammo is out there you just have to have a bit of luck.  I also have a  1916 Model 14 in 30 Rem I’m and a Winchester guy but still I appreciate some of the competition from the early 1900s.
