boomshakalaka12 Gauge • Serial E994041 • Circa 1953–54 Classic exposed-hammer Winchester 97 pump in the iconic short-barrel trench style. 20-inch cylinder-bore barrel, ventilated heat shield, bayonet lug, grooved wooden forend, and original Winchester Repeating Arms checkered metal buttplate. Matching serial numbers on receiver and barrel. Leather sling included. Markings • Receiver: “U.S.” and flaming-bomb ordnance stamp • Stock: circular flaming-bomb stamp plus compass/escutcheon-style cartouche • Winchester proofs and standard Model 1897 markings Condition Very good overall. Metal shows honest age and handling wear with remaining original blue in protected areas. Walnut stock and forend have attractive grain, visible inspection stamps, and only light handling marks—no cracks noted in photos. Action appears complete and functional (buyer to verify). Bore not inspected in photos. This is a post-war commercial 1897 fitted with trench-gun hardware and later military inspection stamps rather than an original WWI or WWII contract gun. Still a sharp-looking, historically evocative 97 that slam-fires and looks the part. Asking $2,195 Buyer pays actual shipping. Ships to your FFL. C&R eligible. Serious inquiries only—more photos available on request
