Manufactured in 1917 (right in the middle of World War I!). Standard markings including Winchester factory oval proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech. Fitted with dovetailed German silver blade front and elevation adjustable notch rear sights. Mounted with a nicely figured smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Very fine, retains 75% original blue finish on the receiver, barrel, and magazine with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina and a few scattered patches of light pitting on the left and right lower flats of the barrel. The reoiled nicely figured wood is also very fine with a few scattered minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
