Manufactured in 1918, this World War I era U.S. marked Winchester Model 1897 trench shotgun falls into the approximate known serial range of E613000-E705000. "U.S." above a flaming bomb stamp on right of receiver, six-hole heat shield with bayonet lug marked "PAT.APPL.FOR.", cylinder choke and 13 3/4" LOP. Includes a Lawrence M1907 brown leather sling, refurbished "1917" dated Winchester M1917 bayonet and leather/iron scabbard.

Fair as refinished, with some light edge wear, smooth artificial brown patina over light pitting and freckling. Refinished wood is good, with non-structural cracks on either side of the wrist, and some light scratches and handling marks. Mechanically excellent. Bayonet and scabbard are good.
