Description:

Manufactured in 1934, per the Winchester Arms Collectors Association. One of only 231 manufactured as a trap grade from 1934 to 1939, with the standard first variation barrel markings, Winchester factory oval proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech, and "TRAP" marked below the serial number on the receiver. Matching numbers on the receiver and receiver collar, 3 inch chamber, and choke marked "SKEET". The barrel proof is offset to the left to accommodate the factory installed solid barrel rib which is fitted with a single German silver bead sight. Mounted with a finely figured extended slide handle with desirable double-diamond checkering and a straight grip stock with diamond in the checkering on the bottom of the wrist, checkered Winchester buttplate, and 13 7/8 inch length of pull.

Rating Definition:

Extremely fine, retains 85% plus original blue finish with some light edge/muzzle wear, moderate mild cycling wear on the magazine, and a few scattered patches of light spotting or very light surface pitting. The wood is fine with some light-minor dings and scratches scattered throughout, a few minor blemishes in the overall crisp checkering, and retains most of the varnish. Mechanically excellent.
