Description: 1959 WINCHESTER MODEL 42 DELUXE SKEET – 28" SOLID RIB BARREL – FACTORY FANCY FEATHER CROTCH WALNUT – MATCHING NUMBERS – EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION Price: $7,500.00  Offered by Peterson Collective is a highly desirable Winchester Model 42 Deluxe Skeet shotgun, manufactured in 1959 during the late production era of this iconic American pump-action .410. This example represents a scarce and exceptionally attractive factory configuration, highlighted by its uncommon 28-inch solid rib barrel paired with Deluxe Skeet trim and premium factory wood. The shotgun retains its original factory finish and presents in excellent overall condition, with strong, consistent blueing and well-preserved metal surfaces that reflect careful ownership and preservation. The receiver and barrel markings remain sharp and well-defined, and all serial numbers are matching, further confirming its originality and collector integrity. The barrel measures 28 inches and features a factory solid rib with a skeet-marked choke. The bore is bright and shiny with clean internal surfaces, indicative of minimal wear and proper maintenance. The longer 28-inch barrel configuration is notably less common on Model 42 shotguns, making this example particularly appealing to collectors seeking uncommon factory variations. The stock set is factory fancy black walnut feather crotch wood, exhibiting pronounced figure, depth, and character consistent with Winchester’s higher-grade wood selection for Deluxe models. The quality of the walnut enhances both the visual appeal and collector value, presenting rich grain patterns that complement the original finish. This shotgun is fitted with a 13 7/8-inch length of pull and weighs approximately 6.28 pounds, contributing to balanced handling and classic Winchester ergonomics. The Deluxe Skeet configuration further distinguishes this model with features intended for both performance and refinement. Winchester Model 42 Deluxe Skeet shotguns are already highly regarded among collectors and shooters, and examples in original condition with scarce barrel configurations such as the 28-inch solid rib are increasingly difficult to locate. This combination of originality, condition, premium wood, and uncommon factory specifications makes this a standout offering within the Model 42 market. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-preserved, factory-original Winchester Model 42 Deluxe Skeet in a highly desirable and uncommon configuration.
