Description:

Manufactured as a Standard Skeet Grade per the included factory letter which confirms the current features of the gun aside from added engraving when the inspection was completed on July 12, 1939. The gun shows blued Winchester Proofed Steel barrels featuring a red front bead and a steel mid-bead on the matted concave solid rib, 2 3/4 inch wedges of scroll engraving at either breech and both muzzles, standard factory markings, chokes marked "WS-1"/"WS-2", and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a fine blued action with engraving cut in the factory 21-4 pattern showing scroll engraving surrounding a simple "SKEET" marking on the triggerplate as well as four game scenes. The scenes depict a pair of mallards on the left, a pair of quail on the right, a pointer and a setter on the underside, and a setter on the triggerguard. The gun features a single selective trigger and a tang mounted manual safety. The gun is mounted with a nicely figured and multi-point checkered beavertail forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with a factory hard rubber buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .670/.669 inches; choke constriction .006(jug)/.009 inches; minimum wall thickness .039/.040 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 3/8 inch drop at heel; 14 1/16 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 12 oz.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally upgraded to current configuration, retaining 99% blue finish with minor handling evidence. The wood is very good with numerous scattered small scratches, minor chipping at the lower tang and forend edges, and overall sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
