In 1987, when Olin Corp. decided to get the rest of the way out of the gun manufacturing business (after having sold the New Haven, Conn. operations to U.S. Repeating Arms), they sold their Japanese factory to a newly formed company - Classic Doubles International. This new firm continued using the same factory, machinery, people, tooling, and designs to produce their versions of the 101, mechanically near identical, but cosmetically different. Most mechanical parts of the Classic Double are identical and interchangeable with the Winchester 101. Quality and workmanship levels are essentially the same. Due to lack of sufficient sales volume to support the operations, they went bankrupt after about 2 years. Due to limited production of Classic Doubles guns, they are becoming as sought after as the Winchester versions (some variations even more so!). In late 1987, Winchester/Olin discontinued importation of their Japanese shotgun models (Models 101 and 23). At that point, Classic Doubles International, Inc. became the sole importer of these shotguns. There were very few changes made during this changeover of importation. The late manufacture Classic Double shotguns (Models 101 and 201) do not have the Winchester trademark or definitive Winchester proofmark stamped on the barrels. The Olin Corporation made the economic decision to stop production of the models 101 and 23 during 1987. The right to produce and sell these guns and most of Olin’s interest in the Olin-Kodensha plant were sold to the Classic Doubles International Corporation … their (Winchester’s) Classic Doubles logo was apparently also sold and appeared unaltered in Classic Doubles International catalogues, except for the deletion of the name “Winchester”. Due to the value and scarcity of the piece, I will allow a 24 hour at-dealer inspection period. No fault return within this time, you pay shipping and fees.
