Manufactured in 1918. The barrel has a dovetail blade front sight and an elevation adjustable rear sight and is stamped with the two-line address/patent dates legend and "25-20 W.C.F." on the left side. A Winchester factory oval proof is stamped on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech. The upper tang has the three-line model/trade mark information. The button magazine is a special order feature. The straight grip stock is fitted with a solid crescent buttplate and is marked with the period carved initials "CJM" on the right side near the buttplate tang.

Very fine. The barrel, receiver, bolt and hammer retain 80% plus original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. There are a few scattered patches of spotting/pitting. The wood is also fine with five notches near the toe, repaired chip and absent chip at the upper tang and some mild handing marks. Mechanically excellent.
