Actually after having another look at a couple ledger pages they don't even list the caliber an 1895 was chambered in because they were all chambered in the same caliber.

Also, an 1895 with a higher serial number above 5000 is going to be an earlier rifle made in 1896, most of the 1897 1895's were a lower serial number from 3000-4999. They started around 5000 and went up and then rolled back to around 3000 somewhere in the mid to high 7000's.
