This model was the first slide-action repeating shotgun built by Winchester and manufactured between 1893 and 1897, with approximately 31,000 made. This particular shotgun was manufactured in 1894. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address/Model 1893 patent date, with "12" at the breech, the two line model designation is marked on the slide arm and the serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame. Single bead sight, exposed hammer, choke gauges at modified. Mounted with a grooved walnut forearm and plain round knob pistol grip stock with an iron shotgun buttplate. Length of pull is 13 inches.

Good. The shotgun retains 25% thin original blue finish concentrated on the receiver and breech end of the barrel and on the magazine tube. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth brown and gray patina. The wood is good with a repaired break at the wrist, several gouges on the stock and minor nicks on the forearm. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
