An analysis of more than 2000 CCD observations of the field RR Lyrae star NSV 09295 shows that the star is a double-mode RR Lyrae (RRd) variable with P_0=0 46334 and P_1=0 34423. This brings the total of known field RRd stars in the Milky Way galaxy to four. These four variables are compared with the RRd stars in galactic globular clusters and with the field RRd stars in the LMC, and in the Draco and Sculptor dwarf galaxies. It appears that all known RRd stars have a metal abundance of less than [Fe/H] = -1.6.
