Description

In mint crisp hardly racked condition we have a late 1942 early 1943 production US Military issued Winchester Model 97 Trench gun.  This is a late production variant with the 4 hole heat shield and the GHD inspection cartouche.  This also comes exactly as we found it with the original Boyt 1943 dated sling and a 1917 bayonet in mint condition.   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.  You will not find a more pristine example than this one, it is fresh out of the woodwork in the Northern Virginia suburbs of DC.  I Would imagine that this was used in some context to guard Washington during WW2.  We have not had a nicer example than this specimen.
