Winchester model 1897 (short barrel)

Selling a peice of WW1 history trench gun, also known as the model 1897. Dates and where it was made are in the picture.   This is the commercial version, not the actual military one. Has the takedown feature, which makes it easier to store in a case or backpack. 

Even though it isn't the army edition, it still holds the same rugged battle-proven reliability. It will last longer than most shotguns on the market today.

Great condition, everything is working. I did 1 slam fire through it, and she worked like a charm (was super fun too, felt like I was clearing trenches in the late era).

Has a choke at the end to adjust the blast pattern. 

It was passed down from generation to generation from a friend of mine, so it’s got some cool history of where it is.

Just holding it, you can feel the souls and spirits it has captured over the years. Just kidding, but it does feel nice in the hand and very historic.

No more needs to be said. If you know what it is, then you can respect the price; if you don’t, then it’s just an old shotgun.

Thank you for reading my small book. I hope you have a lovely day, and hopefully we can make a deal and get this in your collection!
