	My newest acquisition. Winchester 1885 takedown in 25-35. I also bought a Winchester High Wall takedown ring. This was made by F.W. Zika. It came with a Lyman #2 sight and is also shown with a Stevens 368 scope with Winchester A5 mounts. I do plan on doing some refinishing to match the the forend and buttstock colors. Jack

	Jack if that rifle was originally a 25-35 it's probably pretty rare. Is the serial number in the range where there are still factory records? According to Bert H there were only 64 made in the period where there were factory records. I imagine that cartridge was probably more popular in the later days though. Pretty cool find, especially as a takedown. I thought I had an original early one, but it turns out that it was originally a 38-55 Chris.

	According to the chart at the Cody museum site there should be record of it. I paid the $88 to order it but it will be late December before I could get it assuming it exists. Here is the range that they have records for. Mine is 108xxx. IF (big if) it is original it may be the only 25-35 takedown made. If so I could retire. Oh wait, I am retired.

	You could re-retire Jack, buy a big yacht and live aboard at Sequim WA. That John Wayne Marina is a nice one.

	I am thinking Roche Harbor. That is where my bride and I spent our honeymoon.
