Description:

Produced from 1933 to 1963, this shotgun was manufactured in 1940. The first slide action developed exclusively for the .410 bore, often times referred to as "Everybody's Sweetheart", it closely resembles a miniature version of the Model 12. Features a single nickel bead sight on a plain barrel with an uncheckered semi-gloss American walnut pistol grip stock and 18 groove round bottom slide handle and black checkered composition buttplate. Chambered for 3 inch shells choked full. The right side of the barrel is marked with the standard two line address and patent date, and the left side is marked with the standard Winchester trademark, gauge designation and model. Length of pull approximately 13 3/4".

Rating Definition:

Near mint as factory quality refinished. The stock is scattered minor to moderate pressure dents/scratches and a few spots of minor varnish flaking (mainly along the edge of the buttplate). The bore is excellent and the markings are crisp. Mechanically excellent.
