Manufactured in 1903. The special order rapid taper barrel is marked with the two-line nickel steel marking on the upper left and "35 W.C.F." on top at the breech. The receiver has the two-line Winchester address/patent marking on the left, a matted section on top of the receiver ring, the two-line trademark and model marking on the upper tang, and serial number on the lower tang. The lower tang under the stock, stock mortise, and buttplate are unmarked. Fitted with a raised dovetailed German silver blade front sight, elevation adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight, and receiver mounted Lyman peep sight. Mounted with a very finely figured checkered Schnabel tip forearm with ebony insert and an equally well-figured straight grip stock with checkered wrist and a hard rubber Winchester shotgun buttplate.

Very fine, retains 80% original blue finish with some patches on the lever and receiver thinned to a mixture of brown and grey patinas, and some scattered chemical type spotting and minor scratches on the barrel. The wood is fine with some scattered light scratches and dings, a few hairline cracks in the grain on the right, and a chip in the toe including the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
