Manufactured circa 1919 with a single brass bead sight, choked cylinder and a 2 3/4 inch chamber. The left side of the barrel is marked with the two line address and patent date information in front of "12 GA." and "CYL." Mounted on an 18 groove ribbed round forearm and pistol grip stock with a hard rubber buttplate. Length of pull is 13 3/4 inches. Included is a receipt/document listing this shotgun among a group purchased from the Erie Railroad Dover depot by the Dover Sports Center in 1887 and the Volume 30, No. 2, 2008 issue of Man at Arms for the Gun and Sword Collector issue that contains "The Erie Winchesters" by Bob Seijas which discusses these shotguns. The article notes these guns were discovered in near mint condition complete with records that suggested they were purchased by the railroad as government surplus after WWI. Note that lot 1465 was also purchased from the Erie Railroad.

Excellent with 97% plus of the bright original blue with slight slide retraction wear. The wood is also excellent with straight grain. Mechanically excellent.
