In very sharp Combat used condition we have an early 1943 production US Military issued Winchester Model 97 Trench Shotgun. This is an early production variant with the 6 hole heat shield and the GHD inspection cartouche. The date under the barrel is “43” . This shotgun is the real deal it is not a rebuilt riot gun.
This is one of the most sought-after long arms of WWII and its employment in the Pacific Theater is a USMC legend, often called the “one inch tench mortar”. This one certainly looks like it tore off a few soldiers heads in the jungles of the South Pacific! This is a very solid example that has seen some use but no abuse. In a market place wear mint examples now fetch 12k this is a real bargain and will appeal to many of our clients.
