Dates to 1926. This department marked gun is stamped "J.P.D. No. 5" on left side of frame. The left side of walnut stock is also branded "J.P.D." with an additional stenciled "JPD 27" in gold. The right side of stock is also branded JPD. This shotgun is a standard, solid frame, cylinder choke stamped barrel, blue finish, single bead front sight, walnut stock with plain pistol grip, Winchester black butt plate and round grooved forearm. CONDITION: FINE. All of the metal is a smooth blue patina blend with some age freckles. All barrel legends are sharp, stock is solid with scattered dings, stains and impressions usually found on police guns. The bore is fairly clean with miniscule residue. Mechanically sound. Great example of an untouched Roaring Twenties police riot gun.
