Lot #2163:
(C) EARLY DELUXE WINCHESTER MODEL 1905 SELF LOADING RIFLE.
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/17/2025
The "119" serial number was applied to this very early production deluxe 1905 SL rifle on June 5, 1905, shipping from the warehouse on November 13. The blued barrel sports a factory fitted combination front sight and sporting rear. Deluxe checkered walnut forend and pistol grip stock with WRACO grip cap and checkered hard rubber WRACO butt plate. Aftermarket sling swivels have been added. Included factory research otherwise confirms configuration including front sight, the rifle originally would have been factory fitted with a tang sight as well. CONDITION: Good. Barrel retains the vast majority of its factory blue with areas of fading, freckling, and other handling marks. Receiver was cleaned at some point with evidence of older oxidation and added finish. Stocks are very good with some finish loss, surface spotting, and scattered impressions. Good, defined bore. Fine mechanics.
