serial #129901, 410 bore (3''), 28'' Simmons ventilated rib barrel choked full with a bright excellent bore showing some stubborn wad residue about midway. The metal surfaces retain about 98-99% Simmons professionally reapplied blue with light operational wear, a light handling mark or two, and remnants of fine previous pinprick pitting beneath the finish in spots. The bolt and carrier remain bright with some minor gray freckling on the carrier. The checkered pistolgrip walnut stock and extended forend are in near excellent condition with a minor handling mark or two, the checkering remaining crisp, and featuring a hard rubber gripcap and checkered black plastic Winchester Repeating Arms buttplate giving an about 13 3/4'' length of pull. The Winchester barrel address is intact and clear, the ventilated rib is Simmons maker marked, the barrel is ''53'' dated, no Winchester ''WP'' proofs are visible, and the receiver extension is serialized and matching to the gun. The shotgun is sighted with a brass bead front and small white bead midrib. A very nice Skeet Grade, this particular barrel and choke combination only offered on special order after WWII.
