- Lot Description
** Winchester Model 12 Trench Gun
12 gauge, 20.5" barrel with tubular magazine, S/N 9980344 (mfg. ca 1945). Blued finish, smooth, pistol-gripped walnut buttstock with checkered hard rubber Winchester buttplate and round, 18-groove forend. Take-down configuration with matching numbers on frame and barrel assembly. Barrel with standard Winchester address markings, additionally marked as having a 2 3/4" chamber and cylinder bore. Right side of frame marked with U.S. / [flaming bomb] , top of barrel marked with [flaming bomb] proof forward of Winchester proof. Reverse buttstock with boxed W.B. cartouche over small .35" Ordnance Wheel inspection stamp (Waldemar Broberg #4 cartouche per Pate & Daum). Overall an extremely fine condition example of a late-WWII production Model 12 US Military Trench Gun in a wonderful state of preservation.
Fine. Retains most of the blued finish, with some light wear, thinning and loss, showing, some freckled surface oxidation, particularly on the bottom of the frame and barrel at the junction. A few minor finish scratches are present as well. All markings crisp and clear, both in the wood and the metal. Mechanically functional, with a fine, bright bore. Wood shows scattered bumps, dings, scratches and mars. Really a great example of a WWII trench gun in very nice condition.Condition
