Description:

This cased three barrel set consists of a 26, 28 and 30 inch barrel, all with ivory front and steel mid bead sights on the vent rib, 12 gauge with 2 3/4 inch chamber, with the 26 inch barrel choked improved cylinder, the 28 inch barrel modified and the 30 inch barrel full. Each has it's own multi-point checkered walnut forearm, the standard markings, the Winchester oval proof at the breech, off set to the left and a 1 inch wedge of floral scroll engraving on each side at the breech. All serial numbers match and each magazine tube extension is marked with a pigeon. The receiver is nicely engraved with a wooded scene, with two gold accented hunting dogs and a gold accented quail, flanked by floral scroll engraving with a matte background on the left side and four gold accented ducks in a marsh scene on the right side with flanking floral scroll engraving. Jeweled bolt and follower, and mounted with a nicely figured fancy checkered walnut pistol grip stock with a metal Winchester grip cap and black plastic checkered Winchester buttplate. The set comes in a walnut case with fitted wine colored velvet lining and papers. Also complete with the original box numbered to the gun. Length of pull is 13 7/8 inches.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The shotgun retains 99% original blue finish with some slight wear on each of the magazine tubes from normal cycling of the action. All of the gold remains. The wood is also excellent with a few minor dings and scratches on the stock and sharp checkering. All markings and engraving remain sharp. Mechanically excellent. The case is excellent and the box is very good.
