When John Olin wanted to have title to the strongest side by side shotgun in the world, he went to work and got it done.  The Model 21 is an American icon and its reputation is well deserved.  A strikingly handsome gun with the finest steels, gunners in the know have utilized this Winchester in the field and at the club to shoot thousands of rounds without failure.  IF YOU LIKE HEAVY LOADS FOR PHEASANTS OR OTHER TOUGH GAME, THIS IS THE GUN.  Most double gun enthusiasts are aware of the reputation earned by the Winchester Model 21; a gun of mechanical genius that was under the micro management of John Olin himself.  With only 30,000 produced (compared to 250,000 Parkers!), any high condition Model 21 is a valuable, investment quality firearm.  This Model 21, sn8197 made in 1938, is a Deluxe Grade Field gun.  Winchester made its Deluxe Grade with special attention to metal polishing, fit and finish, special attention to choke and chambers, nicer figure in the wood, a Deluxe 3 point checkering pattern at the wrist, fancy checkered forend wood with ebony insert in the forend tip, jeweled surfaces on the forend iron, breech face, and barrel flats, all together the best that Winchester could make.  The Deluxe Grade was a small portion of the overall production and a special gun to own and use.  Stocked with high grade XXX walnut and great shooting dimensions, it is not your ordinary Model 21.  With the 30” factory choked M/F barrels it is the ultimate heavy game gun that will fill in fine on the sporting clays course.  Metal and wood are all in mint, restored condition.  What an extraordinary gun for heavy loads on late season roosters, waterfowl, turkey, and long-range western birds.  With RST Spreader loads this gun will shoot like an IC/M gun on the clays course.  This is an unusual, useful, investment quality American icon in the double gun world.  Don’t miss out in owning one of the finest bird and target guns available.  Thanks for looking!
