Item Details
Description
Cody Firearms Museum research documents this gun was manufactured in November 1937. Features 26" proof steel SxS barrel with slightly raised matted rib, marked for skeet WS1 and WS2, chambered for 2.75" shells, and both with ejectors. Breech ends present with 3" triangles of well cut scroll and gold bands. Typical blued action with non-automatic safety and Winchester single selective trigger. Gold inlaid "SKEET" where normally stamped. Action and other metal parts have been beautifully relief engraved with fields of large shaded scroll within gold wire scrolled borders. This fine engraving and wire inlay is counterpoint to exceptionally well rendered gold relief game birds. A covey of quail taking wing on left side of action and a pair of woodcock flushing on right. Trigger plate portrays a drumming ruffed grouse standing on tree limb with smaller branches as background. No signature is found, however per history of this shotgun, Angelo Bee has been contacted about this engraving and in his review of the work, he identified the master engraver as Gino Cargnel. Excellent feather crotch American walnut pistol grip buttstock. Unbraced beavertail ejector forend matches well, and is probably made from the same piece of wood as butt. Tan leather case with stitched leather corners. Case is lined in burgundy cloth with Winchester label in lid and contains cleaning equipment, snap caps, and oil bottle. Cody Firearms Museum Winchester letter is included. CALIBER: 20 Gauge. S/N: 9210. FFL STATUS: Curio & Relic.
