The right side of the receiver is roll-stamped with "U.S." followed by the Ordnance 'Shell and Flame' insignia below the ejection port. A 'Shell and Flame' Ordnance proofmark is stamped on the top of the barrel just in front of the receiver. The "oval WRA" proof is stamped on the top of the receiver and on the top of the barrel immediately behind the Ordnance proof. The left side of the barrel is roll-stamped with the standard markings, model designation and bore above "CYL". The factory markings are partially covered by the dark parkerized (possibly replaced) handguard. Blue finish, canvas sling stamped "S. M. Co. 1943", plain pistol grip stock and grooved forearm, with a checkered black hard rubber buttplate featuring the Winchester trademark in a circle in the center. "MR" is stamped in the bottom of the pistol grip. No ordnance markings are present otherwise.

Excellent. The shotgun retains 95% original blue finish with the receiver thinning to a brown patina and some minor handling marks. The possibly replaced handguard is excellent with 98% matte blue finish remaining. The wood is very fine with some minor dings, scratches and pressure marks (mostly on the buttstock). Mechanically excellent.
