SCARCE WINCHESTER MODEL 1895 SADDLE RING CARBINE. Winchester 1895 400830 30-40 MODERN; C&R Cal. 30 Army (30-40 Krag). Standard grade carbine with 22" rnd bbl, Partridge style pedestal mounted front sight and 1800 yard carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of receiver has a stud and ring. Mounted with very highly figured, uncheckered American walnut with grasping groove forearm & a single bbl band with handguard. Stock has a straight grip and carbine buttplate with trap. Very likely, this carbine was a part of one of several cases of Winchester carbines discovered in a building in New York in the late 1940's early 1950's which were purchased by renown dealer/collector Herb Glass. Mr. Glass sold most of those Winchesters individually, but retained and sold at least two cases intact which are still known today. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus. Appears to be new and unfired. Overall retains 99% + crisp orig factory finish with only one little spot of wear on left side of magazine box. Wood is equally crisp and clean with only one tiny crease on forearm and no other visible flaws. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. Appears to be unfired. 49608-5 JR (6,000-9,000)
