Rare LETTERED Antique WINCHESTER 1897 “BRUSH GUN” Slide Action Shotgun 12 Ga
Made in 1898 with Cody Firearms Museum Archive Letter
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1897 “Brush Gun” Slide Action Shotgun, manufactured in 1898 in New Haven, Connecticut. The accompanying Cody letter confirms that this was made and shipped in 1898 with a 12 gauge, 26-inch, modified choke barrel.
The Model 1897 was a superior slide-action exposed hammer shotgun that was specifically designed for the new smokeless powder. Winchester manufactured just shy of one million Model 1897 shotguns, with the production taking place from July 1897 to September 1957. The Model 1897 was offered in a variety of grades: standard Field; Fancy; Standard Trap; Special Trap; Pigeon; Tournament; Brush; Riot and Trench Gun. The 20” barrel Riot and Trench Guns were especially desirable for Military and Law enforcement use. The Winchester Model 1897 became the most popular exposed-hammer, slide-action shotgun in history.
The overall condition is very good. Strong, crisp action. The bore is in good shape for its age and smooth. Solid stock with an average amount of wear (minor scuffs and dings). Much of the original finish/patina is preserved. A rarity for Winchester collectors!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
