Where are all the Winchester 1895 Contract Rifles?

[fernleaf]

296,000 Winchester 95s were delivered to Imperial Russia, which I guess in the grand scheme of things isn't really a lot.

Some would have been chewed up in WW1,
then more in the Russian Civil War,
more again in the Finnish Civil War, (Finland had 1700 on hand after the Winter War, and disposed of the last remaining 503 in 1950)
the Soviets sold 9000 of them to the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War (most of the examples we see in private hands now have come from Spain),
And more again chewed up in WW2 being used by mlitia, partisans, or second line troops.
