Well, made a 5 and half hour round trip to Sacramento to pick this gal up! 
Serial number in the 30k range.

Looks like it was well worth the trip. Can’t make out the box labels, what’s the chambering?

Definitely worth the trip. It is a .35 Winchester. With a mirror bore!
That looks like a nice rifle Manuel. 30000 s/n range is among the early ones for a 35 WCF.
I have always had a fond appreciation of the Model 1895 but never found that many other collectors that were interested in them. When I downsized, I kept one, also in .35 caliber and in the 42k range. Have others found the new book on the model to have stimulated interest. Of all the Winchesters I sold, I believe I had the most difficulty in selling the 95’s, including a couple in .405 that were really nice.

That is a beauty of a rifle. I’m not that big of a fan of the 95 but this one was nice, the price was right and i’m a sucker for Climbin’ Lyman side sight!!! They just make a winchester look SEXY!!!!

Good grief but that is a wonderful rifle. Burt – I’ve never seen you post a picture of this rifle before. I’m glad you have done so now. I really enjoyed seeing it. Condition, rarity, it has it all. I suppose given I like .33 WCF’s and .32 Specials, it’s not surprising I like M1895’s. While in confession mode, I’ll admit I even like shotgun butts, half magazines and round barrels.
