Manufactured in 1898 with standard markings including "WRACO" monogram, brass bead front sight, 2 7/8 inch chamber, 12 7/8 inch length of pull, and mounted with a smooth two-slab forearm and pistol grip stock with a checkered steel buttplate. The included factory letter confirms the gauge and barrel length as well as receipt at the warehouse on 19 May 1898, shipment on 2 September 1898, and return for repair on 8 September 1898. Includes a Winchester Repeating Arms stamped shipping crate marked for C.Q. Morgan Esq., that was shipped by Adams Express, an Adams Express marked leather belt with brass shotgun shell loops, and a full, unopened, box of Winchester 12 gauge brass shot shells.

Fine, retains 75% plus of the original blue finish and strong traces of the original case colors on the breech block and lever with the balance a smooth brown-grey patina. The wood is very good with numerous minor dings and scratches, concentrated mostly on the revarnished buttstock, and a few hairline cracks. Mechanically excellent. The crate, belt, and box of shells are all fine or better with generally mild wear.
