Also includes a leather bound takedown case for the set marked "M.R.F." and a canvas cover marked the same, as well as a Winchester factory letter and order sheet confirming the above configuration and a final inspection date of March 25, 1966.

Very fine as factory quality refurbished, retaining 99% plus original blue and gold finishes with minimal handling evidence. The wood is also very fine with a few tiny scratches, some wear on the leather recoil pad, and sharp checkering. The case is very good (handle detached but included in case) and the extra barrel set is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
