This was the first slide-action ever developed exclusively for the .410 bore. Referred to by many as "Everybody's Sweetheart" this model was designed by William Roemer. The Model 42 is in effect, at least in outward appearance, a miniature Model 12. Features a single bead barrel sight, 3 inch chamber, full choke, a grooved forearm and plain pistol-grip stock with a black plastic Winchester buttplate. Manufactured in 1957.

Very fine with approximately 85% plus original finish remaining, with scattered light scratches, high edge wear, with portions of the action bar, bottom of the barrel, and magazine tube becoming a satin gray. The wood is also very good with scattered scratches and dings and some finish thinning on the buttstock. The action is tight.
