Description:

Manufactured in 1939 and subsequently returned to factory for refurbishment. The post-war style vent rib barrel features dual white bead sights, a 2 3/4 inch chamber, full choke, and standard markings. The receiver features floral scroll factory engraved borders with detailed game scenes on the sides. Featuring ducks in flight over a pond with tall grass on the right and two hunting dogs flushing a grouse in a lightly wooded scene on the left. The pattern is very similar to the Winchester factory pattern 12-5. Mounted on a diamond pattern checkered extended forearm and a multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with inset ebony diamonds at the wrist and a solid rubber recoil pad. Length of pull is 14 1/2 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as factory refurbished/upgraded/engraved and finished with 98% of the blue. Showing light handling marks, and scattered light surface scratches. The breechblock and shell lifter have been subsequently unprofessionally jeweled. The refinished wood is fine with small indentations and surface scratches throughout, general handling marks, and well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
