Manufactured in 1941. Single nickel silver front sight bead and blued front sling swivel. The left of the barrel is roll-stamped "MODEL 97-WINCHESTER- 12 GA./-TRADE MARK-" in two lines, followed by "2 3/4 CHAM./CYL." "Flaming bomb" stamp on the top of the barrel. Oval Winchester "W/P" proofmarks are stamped on the top of the barrel and the receiver. The left side of the receiver is roll-stamped with the later style "U.S." property mark. The serial number "E/926444" is roll-stamped across the bottom of the receiver and "926444" on the bottom of the takedown adapter. The earlier production replacement pistol grip stock is fitted with a non-factory added blued sling swivel and checkered, hard rubber Winchester buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very good, retaining 70% original blue finish with some light handling marks, mild spotting and edge wear, and some loss on the magazine tube. Wood is very good replacement with light dents and scratches. Mechanically very good.
