Manufactured in 1936, the first year of full production for this model. Long tang configuration, ramped hooded blade front sight, filler block in the rear dovetail sight slot, bolt mounted peep sight, standard Winchester markings including factory oval proofs and checkered pistol grip stock with hard rubber factory grip cap and checkered steel shotgun buttplate.

Excellent overall, retains 98% plus original blue finish on the frame and barrel with faint wear on the loading gate and hammer, and minor thinning on the buttplate with minimal handling evidence to the high grade figured grain walnut stock. Mechanically excellent in all respects. A superb 1st Year Model 71 Deluxe formerly in the Larry Kaufman Collection.
