Guns Listing ID: 699734



This Winchester Model 1897 trench gun represents a pinnacle of military history, carrying immense scarcity and value for the discerning collector. Built for the grueling realities of World War I, this non-takedown combat classic brings unmatched historic relevance to any collection. The receiver proudly displays the serial number 678854, which falls perfectly within the documented military trench gun range for the era. It features the legendary slam-fire capability that made this platform famous, paired seamlessly with a heat shroud and a bayonet setup to capture its iconic battlefield silhouette. While the shotgun carries an honest patina from being over 100 years old, the metal remains remarkably smooth to the touch. This historic finish could easily be buffed out and restored if the next owner wishes to revitalize its original luster. Looking closely at the walnut stock, this shotgun has received an armorer modification; professionally plugging what was once the original sling swivel mount. Beyond its historical appeal, these iconic combat shotguns command immense investment value in the modern firearms market. Securing a martially-ranged Model 1897 offers a rare opportunity to own an asset that continues to appreciate rapidly. Happy !
