Description

In very sharp condition we have an early 1943 production US Military issued Winchester Model 97 Trench Shotgun.  This is a late production variant with the 4 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 WW2 and its employment in the Pacific Theater is a USMC legend, often called the “one inch tench mortar”  This is a very solid example that has seen some use but no abuse.  The price of this shotgun is absurdly cheap for what it is!!!  But the consignor needs money fast in these hard viral times.
