Description:
VERY EARLY WORLD WAR II  WINCHESTER MODEL 12, U. S. RIOTGUN, #930XXX, MADE 1942. This is a truly outstanding example in the early matching  930XXX serial range with all the original high polish, commercial blue remaining. At first I assumed this one had been re-finished, but on close examination under magnification I saw how clear and sharp the tiny inspector stamps were (“W” behind the receiver serial number and “H” behind the trigger guard) plus all markings and the two aligning “arrows” on the mag tube as well as the stippling on the receiver top & Winchester markings etc. The Winchester proof mark on the receiver top and barrel are clear along with the flaming bomb mark on the barrel top. Sharp U.S. and flaming bomb marking on the right side of the receiver with crossed cannons and “WB” inspector stamp on the left side of the stock. Walnut stock and forend are excellent+ as is the Winchester embossed butt plate. Barrel marked “CYL” for cylinder bore.  Tight mechanically and even retains about all the “matt blue” behind the forend pump- this usually wears fast. Excellent bright bore. Rarely seen this nice.
