Description:

Winchester proofed steel chopper lump barrels with dual white bead sights on the matted solid rib marked "CUSTOM BUILT BY WINCHESTER", 2 3/4 inch chambers with ejectors, and chokes marked "WS-1"/"WS-2". The blued receiver features 50% coverage floral scroll engraving, a jeweled water table, and Winchester "WP" proof. Gold plated single selective trigger and a non-automatic tang mounted safety switch. Beautiful, highly figured, multi-point checkered walnut beavertail forend with engraved fitting, rotary latch release, and ebony tip insert and pistol grip stock with blue, engraved steel grip cap and finely checkered bare butt. The included documentation from the Buffalo Bill Historical Center confirms the current configuration listed above when the final inspection was completed on January 29, 1874, clearly a factory typo which is meant to read 1974. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bores 9 inches from the breech .617/.617 inches; choke constriction .007 (jug)/.018 inches; minimum wall thickness .030/.032 inches; 1 7/16 inch drop at comb; 2 1/4 inch drop at heel; 14 1/8 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs 8 oz.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 99% professionally refinished blue finish, minor handling evidence, and some light pitting visible under the finish at the rear of the left side of the receiver. The very fine stock shows some varnish cracking/discoloration at the butt, otherwise the wood is very fine with minor marks and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
