Here's another one that you might already have, as most it was well used, and pretty much looks like abused put away wet! Mfg in 1908, not 1907 as the listing suggests!

What are the titles for Catalogs 1 through 38? 
  

I do not have that information.  My Winchester catalog collection begins with No. 39 in the year 1885 (coincident with the introduction of the Single Shot model).
  

Why does that not surprise me. Is this catalog actually marked #39? The earliest I’ve seen is #43. June 1887, Arms and Ammo. There are many Win Catalogs that are not marked.
  

I will have to dig it out of the pile and look at it.

So I'm guessing that some receivers sat around for a few years and were given the 405 barrels?  I thought that the 405 was introduced in 1905?
  

1904, but first listed in the 1905 catalog.
  

Thanks Bert.  A number of Winchester's firearms came out before they were listed in the catalogs.   At least the catalogs that are presently available.  I believe that not all of the catalogs were found and copied.

This is no different in the same Model 95, as the .35 caliber was introduced well over a year before the catalog introduction, as stated in Rob and Brad's Book.

Nice inheritance.  Thank you for the photos and information.

Yes, 34652 one of the earliest serial numbers for a .405.  The very earliest is probably 5496, sn applied in December 1897, but with warehouse dates in March 1904.  The earliest warehouse dates seem to be mid-1903.

You might want to double check the serial number applied date with the Records Office.  I looked at some other factory letters around that serial number range.  I think it might be 1902 instead of 1901.
