Engraved and Gold Inlaid Winchester Model 21 Grand American Style Double Barrel Shotgun Three Barrel Set with Case

Blued Winchester Proof Steel barrels with a single red bead sight on the matted vent rib which is marked "CUSTOM BUILT BY WINCHESTER", wedges of scroll engraving at either breech and muzzle, 3 inch chambers with automatic ejectors, and chokes marked "IMP. CYL."/"MOD." The blued action displays extensive closed scroll engraving surrounding four gold inlaid game scenes including a setter on the left, a pointer on the right, a bust of a setter on the triggerguard, and a rendition of the Winchester Rider on the underside. The engraving extends to the triggerguard, tangs, and toplever which is inlaid "20-28-410" in gold around the bolt. The gun features a gold plated single selective trigger and tang mounted automatic safety switch. Beautifully figured, fancy fleur-de-lis checkered beavertail forend with engraved fittings and ebony tip inlay and pistol grip stock with blued "GRAND/AMERICAN" gold inlaid grip cap and fleur-de-lis carved and checkered bare butt. Included are two extra matching numbered and engraved barrel sets, one in 20 gauge and one in 28 gauge, both measuring 28 inches and featuring their own forends, improved cylinder/modified marked chokes, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. Also included is a leather bound takedown case with canvas cover, gold plated oiler, and three sets of gold plated snap caps. Barrel measurements for the 20 gauge set (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .614/.615 inches; choke constriction ..039/.038 inches; minimum wall thickness .034/.036 inches. Barrel measurements for the 28 gauge set (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .548/.549 inches; choke constriction .046/.041 inches. Stock measurements: 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 5/16 inch drop at heel; 14 1/4 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs. 11 oz. Provenance: The Buffalo Bill Center of the West

ConditionVery fine overall as custom embellished/upgraded to current configuration, retaining 99% blue and gold finishes with limited handling evidence and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. The 28 gauge barrel set is near mint and the 20 gauge set is very fine but has some oxidation under the rib. The case is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
