I have a 1895 model in .405 made in 1910 which is in great shape and shoots well, how would I contact interested parties.

Your biggest market is to post it on GunBroker.com. This will help ensure the most folks see it and get you the best price. Post the link for us if you go that route so we can see it and bid as well. Good luck!

I agree that the highest prices are often attained on gunbroker.  However, if you are new to gunbroker and not an established seller, I would expect that many of the usual bidders will be reluctant to participate.  We have some members here who are gunbroker sellers and are highly successful at attaining top winning bids. They are also well-established, have a strong following, experts at posting quality photos, known for their honest dealings and so on.  That type reputation needs to be earned, and if you haven’t established that, your result will likely not be as strong.  

The good news is a M1895 .405 is a very desirable and popular item.  It will automatically attract interest.

By the way, is it a takedown?  Crescent or shotgun butt?  Lyman long receiver sight?  Any modifications?  Feel free to post photos and we will happily give you a more detailed opinion.

Good morning all, thank you for your help, but I have decided  to keep the gun for now.

No one ever regrets keeping their Winchester! You can always change your mind on selling it but once you do that is it. Enjoy it my friend!
