Winchester Model 23 Pigeon Grade 12GA - A First-Year Collector's Prize
Description:
What you are looking at is the absolute pinnacle of the modern classic American side-by-side: a 12-gauge Winchester Model 23 Pigeon Grade, made truly exceptional by what can only be described as a collector's dream serial number. With serial number 327, this 1978 shotgun is not just a "first-year" gun—it is one of the very first examples to ever leave the esteemed Olin-Kodensha factory. This firearm represents a unique moment in history, combining the legendary Winchester name with world-class Japanese craftsmanship to create an unparalleled statement of quality and a tangible piece of firearms history.
This firearm is from a well-cared-for private collection and is in excellent used condition at a strong 95-98%. It shows only minor and honest signs of cherished field use (see photos), reflecting a gun that was carried with pride but shot sparingly. The bores are bright and mirror-clean. Mechanically, the shotgun is 100% sound and functions flawlessly, with a tight lockup and perfectly timed ejectors.
This is a fantastic opportunity to own the ultimate evolution of the Winchester side-by-side. This particular firearm combines the century-old legacy of Winchester's "gun that won the West" with the precision manufacturing of a golden era, making it a premier choice for the discerning upland hunter or the serious firearms collector.
Ship to FFL only. Shipping price includes enough insurance to protect your purchase.
What's Included in the Sale:
Key Features & Design The genius of the Model 23 platform is its robust simplicity and classic elegance, which this Pigeon Grade enhances with purpose-driven, premium features:

What's Included in the Sale:
- Winchester Model 23 Pigeon Grade, 12 Gauge Shotgun
- The impeccable provenance of a first-year production firearm, SN 327
Key Features & Design The genius of the Model 23 platform is its robust simplicity and classic elegance, which this Pigeon Grade enhances with purpose-driven, premium features:
- First-Year Production, SN 327: This is the single most important feature for any collector. A true "three-digit" serial number signifies this is one of the very first examples to ever leave the factory in 1978. An opportunity to acquire a flagship gun from this early in its production run is exceedingly rare.
- Pigeon Grade Finish & Engraving: The signature of this premium model. The receiver features tasteful scroll engraving, and the trigger guard floorplate is emblazoned with the iconic engraved pigeon. This is paired with a beautifully figured grade of American walnut, far superior to that found on standard models.
- Legendary Olin-Kodensha Craftsmanship: Built in the same Japanese factory as the famed Winchester 101 O/U, the Model 23 benefits from precision manufacturing, impeccable wood-to-metal fit, and a reputation for being utterly reliable and durable.
- Classic Boxlock Action & Handling: The receiver is built for strength and longevity. This is mated with the desirable single selective trigger and strong, perfectly timed automatic ejectors, providing the fast handling and modern function expected of a top-tier field gun.
