Description

IN MINT CRISP CONDITION PRACTICALLY LIKE IT WAS PULLED FROM THE BOX, WE HAVE A MINT EXAMPLE OF A LATE WAR PRODUCTION WINCHESTER M97 TRENCH GUN. THIS IS NOT A MILITARY MARKED GUN AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT IT WAS SENT TO THE OAK RIDGE ATOMIC LAB IN TENNESEE. THIS IS ACTUALLY MUCH RARER THAN THE MILITARY MARKED TRENCH GUNS AND ONLY A HANDFUL ARE KNOW FROM THIS PERIOD. ALMOST THE ENTIRE WARTIME PRODUCTION WAS PROCURED BY THE THE MILITARY SO IF YOU WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN ONE OF THESE GUNS OUTSIDE OF MILITARY CHANNELS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR A HIGH PRIORITY GOVERMENT NEED. THIS GUN JUST CAME OUT OF THE WOODWORK AND IT HAS BEEN IN A COLLECTON SINCE THE VERY EARLY 1960’S. A GUN IN THIS MINT CONDITION WILL APPEAL TO BOTH THE TRENCH GUN COLLECTOR AND AND WINCHESTER COLLECTOR, THEY ARE NEVER OFFERED FOR SALE THIS CRISP.
