Manufactured in 1917. The Model 1901 was a redesign of the Model 1887 shotgun offered in 10 gauge only, and production serial numbers began at 64856. Production began in 1901 and lasted until 1920. Offered here is a very fine example. Any high condition Model 1901 is difficult to find, as Winchester had trouble with the heat treated receivers taking the blue finish. The barrel features a single bead sights and modified marked choke. The left side of the barrel has the standard Model 1901 legend, and the left side of the frame has the "WRA CO." logo. The upper tang has the three-line trade mark information. A Winchester factory oval proof is stamped on the barrel and receiver at the breech. Mounted with a two-piece forearm and round knob pistol grip stock. The stock is fitted with a checkered steel buttplate.

Very fine, retaining 90% plus original blue finish with thinning to brown on the balance, specks of rust, and traces of original blue finish remaining on the buttplate. The wood is also very fine with a couple of gouges on left side of stock and minor scattered dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
