Description
11/8/22 – This is a beautiful example of an original, hard-to-find twin barrel Winchester Model 42 set in the Winchester case.The set has about 98% of the original blue, with very little finish loss but minor oxidation in a few areas, most pronounced on the right side of the receiver.It features two barrels, the first 26 in. long, marked “Mod.”, and the second 28 in. long, marked “Skeet”. The receiver is unmarked but for a “WP” proof mark at the top just behind the barrel mount, and the serial number “93375” at the bottom, again behind the barrel mount.The walnut stock is finely checked at the wrist, with a black composite cap at the base of the wrist marked “Winchester Repeating Arms Company”. A brown rubber recoil pad, also marked “Winchester”, is fitted to the butt. The trigger guard still features an Olin Industries-era hang tag.Minty bores on both barrels.NRA grade excellent overall. The shotgun is housed in a custom-fitted Winchester case bearing their label inside the lid, and also containing a 1960’s-era oil bottle and reproduction instruction booklet.
