(C) EXCEPTIONALLY RARE DOCUMENTED FACTORY ENGRAVED DELUXE WINCHESTER MODEL 1905 SELF-LOADING RIFLE (

Lot # 2299 (Sale Order: 209 of 374)      

Designed by T. C. Johnson, the 1905 was Winchester's first foray into the centerfire semi-automatic rifle market. Available in the somewhat underpowered .32 and .35 Winchester Self-Loading calibers, the rifle was quickly superseded by the Model 1907 chambered in the more potent .351 SL cartridge. While production continued through 1920, it was limited and very few rifles were sold in deluxe configurations, let alone with factory engraving, making them among the rarest of all embellished Winchesters. Per an included Cody Records Office factory letter this example, serial number 13927, shipped as a rifle, .35 caliber, with fancy pistol grip stock, Lyman rear sight, combination front sight (Beech), targeted point blank to 150 yards, engraved $14.00 stocks carved/checkered No. 5 carved style. It was received in the warehouse November 17th, 1906 and shipped from warehouse November 19th, 1906. Rifle is blued with a 22" Winchester proof steel barrel scroll engraved over the chamber with a platinum band at the receiver. Correct Beech front sight and buckhorn rear, with a Lyman peep sight also mounted to the tang. Receiver is beautifully engraved with a pair of game scene vignettes surrounded by rope and line borders, with a background of maple leaf and vine scrolls. Left vignette features a pair of bull caribou trotting through a wooded scene. Right scene depicts a pair of pronghorn residing in a distinctly Western, rocky landscape with some scattered evergreens in the background. The top of the receiver is engraved with a an attractive interlocking scroll pattern, in addition to rope borders along the edges. Stocks are highly figured American walnut with pistol grip and forend checkered with fleur-de-lis motifs. Standard checkered hard rubber butt plate and grip cap. In addition to the 1987 dated factory letter, rifle is accompanied by 40 rounds of boutique loaded ammunition. CONDITION: Overall very good showing period use. Barrel retains the majority of its factory applied blued finish, with areas of the receiver and other components drifting to an aged brown patina. Stocks are good showing period impressions throughout. As commonly seen on early Winchester self-loaders, a small 1 - 1/2" split is present along the underside of the grip. Good bore showing defined rifling. Mechanically fine. This fine and seldom seen, elegantly embellished Winchester would make a excellent addition to any advanced Winchester collection.
