Manufactured circa 1937, this gun was built with blued Winchester Proof Steel barrels featuring dual bead sights on the matted concave solid rib, chokes marked "WS-1"/"WS-2", and chambers measured 2 3/4" with automatic ejectors. The matching numbered barrels are fitted to the blued action displaying Winchester's 21-3 engraving pattern showing tasteful use of scrollwork on all sides as well as on the toplever and triggerguard and a pointing setter on the action floorplate The gun features a single selective trigger and the remnants of a tang mounted safety which has been removed and a filler placed in its stead. The gun is fitted with a beautiful highly figured and multi-point checkered beavertail forend with engraved forend iron as well as a straight grip stock with checkered flats and red rubber recoil pad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .730/.729 inches; choke constriction .004(jug)/.005 inches; minimum wall thickness .028/.030 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 1 3/8 inch drop at heel; 14 1/4 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs. 1 oz.

Very fine. The barrels retain 95% refinished blue, and 90% plus original blue finish on the frame with slight thinning on the triggerguard/lower tang, minor handling evidence, some deterioration of the recoil pad, a few marks on the wood, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
