Factory Engraved Winchester 20 Gauge Model 21 Double Barrel Skeet Shotgun

Built with blued Winchester Proof Steel barrels with red front and white mid-bead sights on the matted concave solid rib which is marked "CUSTOM BUILT BY WINCHESTER FOR AUBREY. E. BRANNAN", single band of engraving at the breech, jeweled flats, chokes marked "WS-2"/"WS-1", and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a blued action which displays attractive scroll engraving on all sides in what appears to be an enhanced factory 21-1 pattern which extends to the triggerguard and the toplever along with fine jeweling on the watertable. The gun features a single selective gold plated trigger and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is mounted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered beavertail forend with ebony tip inlay and engraved blue fittings along with a straight grip stock with a factory red rubber recoil pad. While we cannot confirm, a likely candidate for whom the gun was built for was Aubrey E. Brannan of Polo, MS, who was district sales manager for Winchester, a veteran of World War II, and a member of the NRA, Kansas City Trapshooting Association, and the Amateur Trapshooting Association. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .614/.615 inches; choke constriction .002/.004(jug) inches; minimum wall thickness .041/.039 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 1 7/8 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 13 oz.

ConditionExcellent, retaining 97% plus original blue finish with minor handling evidence, a few rubs near the muzzles, and a few tiny freckles of spotting on the barrels. There is a small chip on either side of the lower tang and some age cracking on the recoil pad, otherwise the wood is very fine with a few minor marks and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
