This example was manufactured for the U.S. military. The barrel has a bayonet lug with a steel bead front sight attached at the front of the barrel. The left side of the receiver is stamped with an ordnance bomb over "U S". Mounted on a round grooved walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with an "R" stamped on the grip cap area and also on the checkered hard rubber buttplate. Length of pull is 14 1/4 inches. With a brown leather claw sling marked "MILSCO/1943".

Very good as assembled, the barrel assembly retains 90% of the parkerized finish with scattered scratches, rub marks and dings. The receiver retains 80% of the original blue finish with scattered dings, scratches and some moderate pitting on the right rear. The wooden hand guard is absent. The stock set is very good with some scattered minor scratches and dings. Mechanically needs work as safety does not engage. Nonetheless, this is an extremely difficult U.S. Trench Shotgun to fine!
