Win mod. 97 aprox. serial to 1913?
O.K. picts. of the Win. solid piece mod. 97. Some minor work needed mostly cosmetic but it shoots. Been a bit but I think the serial numbers take it to 1913 or so?
Have the bayo. for it also. Has 3 distinct notches evenly spaced in the trigger guard which I assume is 'I got em cuts?' Has 4 hole across on the heat shield. Used in WWI I have no idea? Any info anyone can add would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Yeah geez if only it could talk. Now the more I read on these the more mixed it gets? 's has the globe and whatever on his and I read where they put that on after the war? Correct wrong PLEASE correct me??
Plus lots of police depts. bought these surplus to shoot roaring 20s bad guys? ADD> Fact. A few weeks before the war Germany wanted them banned because they were sweeping the German trenches with them. The war ended with no adjudication . Holy sheet the bayo on this goes half way to Germany. |

Cool old shotgun. Those action parts are hand fitted and I bet cycles smooth

I am going to give one more try at getting this back together then if no its off to the gunsmith? Pogo as posted I am reading the fixed barrel not the take down ones are the ones worth a bit more and hard to find? I don't know my head starts spinning when I read the history of these dang guns.. |

I have sold so many of those old pumps I couldn't count. Most of them were worn as hell with almost no blue left to them. Alot of them had a good amount of wear to the internal parts as to making the actions hang up every so often. All but two I think have been commercial models, the other two being a military dressed and marked one, the other a police model. Most were sold from $200 up to $400 being very well used, the two other models sold for much more IIRC, and we're in better shape not being hunting guns for a century. I purchased a bayonet lug/ heat shield for one at a gun show well over a decade ago, thing was minty. Payed a couple hundred for it back then, and it looked to be a legit original last time I looked it over. Thing probably weighs as much as a barrel, with the big arse chunk of metal for the lug and swivel. Always wanted to build up a cheap commercial model and use it, but never found a good enough condition cheapo one for my penny pinching mind. The goal was to redo it all, and throw it in the blue tank with a nice polish job to hang on the wall. Obviously not a complete copy of a military model, but just a pretty to look at shotgun. I wonder if the shield/lug would fit on the old Savage 520 I have in a bag of gun out back? That probably won't happen though with my limits on time now a days. I should dig a little and confirm if that shield is original, it's still wrapped in the brown grease paper if I remember correctly. Anyone know if there is any specific markings I should see on the old shield/lug/swivel?

p-38 mine is a circa. 1913/1915 and the heat shield has 4 rows of 4 across length wise holes. Plus the bayo lug and non barrel takedown its a fixed barrel. I think? later models went with more rows across holes but I may be wrong?
