The 1895 Winchester's appearance has been criticized by many fans of older Winchester lever guns. In fact, G&A's Elmer Keith poor-mouthed the 1895's form to no end. True, the 1895 represented a complete reconception by John Browning over his own design in earlier lever actions. The reason for the 1895's new appearance was the lack of a tube magazine underneath the barrel. Rather, the magazine was a non-detachable box under the receiver.

With under 13,000 minted, the 1895 Philadelphia Mint Morgan is the rarest Morgan ever struck. One recently sold at public auction for over $85,000. It comes from the oldest mint in the US, where the first Morgans were struck in 1878, and is a rarely seen proof striking. Your privately minted, non-monetary 1895 Morgan Tribute Proof is clad in 71 mg of .999 Pure Silver, with the glorious mirror-like field and frosted relief of a collector's desired proof striking.

In 1895 the movement for the creation of a Northern Rugby Union outside of the control of the RFU had a reached a crescendo. In one final effort to reign in the rising upheavel the RFU broadened its definition of "professionalism" to include playing on a ground where gate money was taken and/or any game to be played with less than 15 men-a-side. The RFU knew that some of the northern clubs had been contemplating reducing the number of players in teams to less than 15 to improve the crowd appeal - in fact the RFU had even considered the option itself in 1892.

The Model 1895's in .30-06 had some difficulties with bolt face peening & setback (sometimes resulting in excess headspace) when factory loads in .30-06 were upgraded & pressures increased. That is not true for the other chamberings. The modern reproductions/replicas - the Brownings from 1984, the Winchester/USRAC/Miroku models from the 1990's through the present - all do fine with the .30-06's, and the 1990's vintage .270 Winchester chambering.

In 1895, most college men lived in Old Main. In general, each student had his own private sleeping room and shared a study room with another student, but some students shared a dormitory room. The six feet by twelve feet single dormitory rooms were furnished only "with new spring bedsteads," and the student had to supply all other furniture, including bedding and carpets. The study room was twelve feet square. If a student desired a personal study room, his charges for room rent and private fuel were doubled. College men ... could have a furnished room with board in the East Hall of the Academy.

[I]n August 1895 the clubs in the working class counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire jumped before they were pushed. But this wasn't a mere loss of 22 clubs from the RFU. In 1890 there were about 240 rugby (RFU) clubs in the two counties... by 1900 this had reduced to less than 25 clubs - the rest had left. In 1904 the Northern Union had more clubs affiliated to it than the RFU. By such time the Northern clubs were in the hands of milder middle-class owners such as shop keepers and small business owners. The industrial owners of the textile factories and mines had long gone from the Northern clubs and the class separation was complete.
