Equipped with a casehardened hammer, lever, and trigger. Fitted with two-piece, diamond checkered, fancy walnut forearm and round knob pistol grip stock with a checkered Winchester plastic buttplate. Length of pull is 13 inches. Includes a factory letter that confirms the shotgun configuration, 12 gauge, 30 inch barrel length, extra light, and a fancy checkered stock with rubber buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally restored. The barrel and magazine tube retain 97% of the blue finish with only slight handling marks. The frame, hammer, lever, and trigger have vivid case colors with only slight handling marks. The marking are clear. The revarnished wood is very good with minor scattered scratches and dings and a small chip absent near the lower tang. The recut checkering is crisp. Mechanically excellent.
