Description:

Manufactured in 1891 and subsequently the barrel was cut-down and has an oval "WP" proof on the left at the breech. The frame has the "WRACO" monogram on the left. The semi-pistol grip stock and forearm are smooth, and it is fitted with a checkered steel buttplate. This model was designed by John Moses Browning at the request of management at Winchester and became popular in the West. Double barrel shotguns had long been popular with stage coach and railway guards and others, but the Model 1887 offered more fire power. Provenance: The John Fox Collection; Private Collection

Rating Definition:

Fine with traces of original case colors on the action, attractive Western charm by way of mottled gray and brown patina overall as you would expect from a shotgun used in the mining fields, some minor oxidation/pitting, and general mild wear on the metal and wood including some dings and scratches. Mechanically fine. This is a classic early repeating shotgun with a lot of character.
