Description:

This shotgun is a rare model that was produced during the 1960-1970s for use by the Special Forces (Green Berets) during Vietnam. These shotguns were given to the Montagnards of the Vietnamese Central Highlands as gifts of trading stock to gain their support. Most were destroyed after the fall of Vietnam and are difficult to find today. The receiver is marked "SPECIAL FORCES MODEL/ HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON, INC./ WORCHESTER, MASS. U.S.A" on the left side over the serial number. Adjustable rear sight and bead front along with a green canvas sling and a vented recoil pad.

Rating Definition:

Excellent plus with 99% original parkerized finish, excellent bore and wood. These are very difficult shotguns to obtain.
