Manufactured in 1948. The rear lower left side of the receiver is marked with "U.S." The left side of the barrel at the breech is marked "2 3/4 CHAM/CYL." with the top marked with a flaming ordnance bomb and a Winchester factory proof. A factory proof is repeated on top of the receiver at the breech. The shotgun has a reproduction 4-hole handguard. The stock is stamped with a boxed "WB" over a cross cannon ordnance cartouche on the left side. Length of pull is 14 inches. Comes with a Remington bayonet stamped "1913/8 17" and double stamped "US" near a struck marking. The bayonet has a scabbard.

Very good as assembled (refinished, replacement trench guard). The shotgun retains 60% original blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina with a few small patches of minor pitting. The handguard is a crude, homemade replacement. The wood is fine with a number of minor handling marks. The cartouches are clear. Mechanically excellent.The bayonet has a mottled patina on the blade and some minor handling marks on the handle. The scabbard has a mottled patina on the hardware and is solid overall.
