Winchester Model 1897 12 Ga SN: 222341
Vintage pump action repeating shotgun manufactured circa 1903. Features a blued finish, full choked 30" take-down barrel, 5 round tube magazine, brass bead front sight, smooth trigger, exposed hammer with knurled spur, grooved walnut pump handle and smooth semi-pistol grip shoulder stock (missing its butt plate). Bore is fair condition, dark and appearing lightly pitted; might improve with a good cleaning. Exterior surfaces are mostly a uniform medium brown color, slightly rough textured, with traces of faded bluing showing in a few protected areas, bare metal where pump handle rubs. Row of peening on left rear edge of receiver extension. Two halves of the shotgun are slightly loose. Pump handle is fair condition, long cracks and many small dents. Stock is poor condition, cracked at wrist, chipped at toe, larger piece of toe broken off & glued back, has shallow cross hatching added (now thin and worn, not a complete pattern), no buttplate. Action is stiff, feels like dried grease. Receiver extension numbered "222341" (faint, hard to read). Barrel markings partially eroded. Condition is NRA Fair *** C&R Firearm ***
