Manufactured circa 1943. Single steel bead sight on the four-hole heat shield/bayonet adaptor, 2 3/4 inch chamber, and a cylinder choke. The top of the barrel is marked with the U.S. (flaming bomb) proof followed by the Winchester oval "WP" proof at the breech. The right side of the receiver is marked with the "U.S. flaming bomb" roll mark. Full blue finish with the correct model marking on the barrel and matching serial numbers on the receiver and barrel collar. Mounted with an 18-groove round slide handle and smooth pistol grip stock with an original U.S. WWII brown leather sling, "G.H.D." cartouche over crossed cannons on the left side, and a solid Winchester buttplate. Length of pull is 13 7/8 inches.

Fine as assembled (replaced but proper barrel), with 80% of the blue finish, showing some bright edge wear, scattered spotting and handling marks. The heat shield shows a number or dents, and some tool marks on and around the bayonet lug screws. The stock is very good, with mild scuffs and scratches, and the sling is good. Mechanically excellent.
