SOLD US WINCHESTER MODEL 97 TRENCH SHOTGUN, 1943 PRODUCTION, GHD CARTOUCHED, VERY CRISP!

In very crisp condition we have an early 1943 production US Military issued Winchester Model 97 Trench Shotgun.  This is a later production variant with the 4 hole heat shield and the GHD inspection cartouche.  This shotgun is the real deal it is not a rebuilt riot gun.  It comes with a mint BoyT leather sling as well.

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 just some slight use but no abuse.
