Thread: WW1 Winchester trench markings

  1. #1

    Default WW1 Winchester trench markings

    I'm not that familiar with the US markings on a World War 1 Winchester.
    Do these look correct?

    There's a partial strike of each mark. But from what I can see in the photos, they appear to be the real deal.

    In honor of the holidays I am going to pronounce that gun Kosher.

    I love it when I see a martially marked shotgun bringing that kind of money!

    Is the butt plate right, I would think it should have a metal one ?

    The buttplate is correct. Metal ones were used as replacements.

    Looks like $10,000 buys it
