Status: Sold

Single shot Winchester model 37, 12 gauge shotgun, manufactured from 1936 to 1963. Chambered 2 3/4 and choked full. 32 inch steel built barrel has very nice original blueing finish with very slight silvering around the muzzle, clear markings and a single bead front sight. The bore has an excellent, bright and shiny bore and has been very well maintained. Winchesters design of a break open shotgun with exposed hammer spur and an automatic ejector. The receiver has some silvering and overall blueing fade in high handling areas but retains most of its original finish. Barrel release is located on the tang in front of the ribbed hammer. The trigger guard and trigger are in very good condition with some visible wear on edges. At the base of the receiver is the traditional red letter Winchester logo engraved. Only the first 200,000 model 37s produced up to 1948 had the red letter Winchester. Solid walnut forearm has some darkening near the receiver from handling but is in excellent condition. The buttstock has few mars from age and use with a beautiful patina and gloss finish on the hardwood walnut with a black polymer checkered buttplate. A simple and classic American shotgun!
