Manufactured in 1951 with standard markings including Winchester factory oval proofs on the barrel at the breech and on the receiver. The Routledge bore barrel is fitted with a single steel bead sight. Mounted with a flat-bottomed, 17-groove, slide handle and pistol grip stock with a checkered steel buttplate. According to Ned Schwing, these smoothbore Model 61s where not a cataloged option post-World War II until 1956, meaning these early post-war variations have no production data available.

Very fine overall, retaining 95% original blue finish with pitting visible at the muzzle, minor handling evidence, some scattered minor rust specks on receiver, and a few dings and scratches on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
