Manufactured in 1942 (Winchester Arms Collectors Association) during the height of World War II. Single steel bead sight on the four-hole heat shield/bayonet adaptor, 2 3/4 inch chamber, and a cylinder marked 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, which is repeated on top of the receiver. 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 "G.H.D." cartouche over crossed cannons on the left side, and a checkered Winchester buttplate. Length of pull is 13 7/8 inches. Includes a leather sling.

Very fine as assembled, retains 95% blue finish with some scattered light handling marks, a patch of light pitting/discoloration and battering visible around the rear area of the bayonet lug on the repaired heat shield. The reoiled wood is fine with a few scattered light handling marks and crisp cartouches. Mechanically excellent.
