One of approximately 15,000 riot and training shotguns manufactured by Savage for the U.S. military during World War II. It has the standard Savage markings on the left of the barrel as well as "P/flaming bomb", "SP" oval proof, and "****" choke marking. The "P/flaming bomb" marking is repeated on the left of the receiver followed by "U.S." The barrel is fitted with a single brass bead sight, improved cylinder choke, and 2 3/4 inch chamber. Mounted with a finger groove forearm and pistol grip stock with a serrated plastic buttplate. These Model 720 riot shotguns are one of the most difficult of the military shotguns to obtain. The length of pull is 14 1/8 inches.

Very fine, retains 85% plus original blue finish with a few scattered areas of thinning exposing a smooth grey patina. The wood is fine with a crack in the right of the forearm and some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout. Mechanically excellent.
