Description:Manufactured in 1920. The 22 inch barrel has beaded blade and elevation adjustable sights and is marked with the two-line address/patent dates followed by the two-line nickel steel marking and "33 W.C.F" on the left side. A Winchester factory oval proof is stamped on the barrel and receiver. The upper tang has the three-line model/trade mark information, and the lower tang has the serial number. The takedown release has the 1893 patent date marking. Eyelets are mounted on the underside of the buttstock and forend cap and hold a leather sling. Mounted on a smooth straight grip stock fitted with a factory hard rubber shotgun buttplate.
Rating Definition:Fine. The rifle retains 60% original blue finish with the balance a mix of smooth brown and gray patinas. There are a few tool-like marks on the takedown collar. The wood is also fine with a surface chip missing on the wrist (right side) and some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
