- Lot Description
.410 gauge, 26" barrel, S/N 2961 (mfg. ca 1920). Blued finish, smooth pistol-gripped walnut stock, smooth Schnabel forend. Winchester introduced the Junior Trapshooting Outfit in the 1920 catalog: "Besides the new and graceful .410 Winchester Shotgun, a little beauty and a fine arm, the outfit includes the Winchester Midget Hand Trap, with which the shooter can throw the little clay targets at which he shoots, or have them thrown for him by any companion of his outing; 150 Winchester .410 loaded shells; 100 Clay Targets; Steel Cleaning Rod; Gun Grease; Gun Oil and Rust Remover. All packed in a rugged, handsome case, 30 x 8 1/2 x 6 inches. The total weight of the outfit complete including everything necessary for the sport of trapshooting is about 40 pounds."
An incredibly scarce, essentially complete Junior Trap Set consisting of a Model 20 .410 single barreled shotgun, packaged in a traveling case containing the bird thrower, clay targets, shotshells, cleaning rods, as well as cleaning and lubricating products, all of course, Winchester branded. Like all youth shooting items from the pre-WWII period, surviving examples are scarce, relatively complete examples extremely scarce and relatively complete examples with condition are practically non-existent. This would be a solid example for an collection. The small clay birds contained in this set are particularly scarce and are highly sought after to complete surviving sets.
**C&R or FFL requiredGood to very good. Shotgun with most of the blue on the barrel, no finish on the receiver, clear marks, mechanically functional and a good bore. Stock with scattered bumps and dings. Case worn, but remains functional and solid. Box of clay targets partially complete with two sleeves of the elusive clay birds. Box itself well worn, torn, shows signs of being wet and moldy. Bird thrower, and cleaning rods in very good condition. Shot shell box good (not original to the set), with 23 shells remaining. Cleaning products fair to good, having been used, with worn boxes, loosing flaps.Condition
