The receiver has a few small spots of light oxidization with a beautiful blued patina. Strawed crossbar safety is located in front of the trigger guard. Pump action is smooth and crisp with a beautiful walnut forearm that is ribbed and in excellent condition. Walnut buttstock has a darkened woodgrain near the receiver with a black, checkered buttplate and is in very good condition for its age. All visible serial numbers are matching. Although this pre 64 was one of the late models in production of the pre 64s, it is still a exceptionally well known and would make a wonderful addition to a Winchester collection!
