MFG. 1899. This is a matching number, cylinder choke marked 12 ga take down shotgun that was transformed into a Trench Gun type by adding a contemporary heat shield, a rear sling swivel. A U.S. & Ordnance bomb stamp has been added to left side of frame along with Bomb & P on barrel. Standard features include a round knob walnut stock, replaced Winchester butt plate and grooved forearm. Original finish was blue. CONDITION. Very good. Stock has heavy coat of added varnish. Forearm is a replacement, heavily varnished, modern screws. The unmarked replica heat shield retains 90% blue. Balance of finish on metal is smooth chocolate brown. Legends are crisp. Bore is dark with scoring but will clean up better.
