Description
This Winchester Model 1897 Trench Shotgun is a legendary piece of American military history, widely recognized for its service in both World Wars and Korea. Chambered in 12 gauge, this pump-action shotgun features the classic trench gun configuration with a 20" barrel, original-style heat shield, bayonet lug, and military sling swivel setup.
Note: there is a small crack in the wood stock.
Serial number 651876 places production circa 1918, making it highly desirable to collectors and WWII reenactors alike. The receiver retains its aged blued finish with some honest wear, and the action remains tight and functional.
These shotguns are increasingly difficult to find in this configuration, especially with original-style hardware. Whether for collecting, display, or historical shooting events, the 1897 trench gun remains one of the most iconic and intimidating martial shotguns ever made.
