This Winchester Model 1897 trench gun represents a pinnacle of military history, carrying immense scarcity and value for the discerning collector. Built for the grueling realities of World War I, this non-takedown combat classic brings unmatched historic relevance to any collection. The receiver proudly displays the serial number 678854, which falls perfectly within the documented military trench gun range for the era. It features the legendary slam-fire capability that made this platform famous, paired seamlessly with a heat shroud and a bayonet setup to capture its iconic battlefield silhouette. While the shotgun carries an honest patina from being over 100 years old, the metal remains remarkably smooth to the touch. This historic finish could easily be buffed out and restored if the next owner wishes to revitalize its original luster. Looking closely at the walnut stock, this shotgun has received an armorer modification; professionally plugging what was once the original sling swivel mount. Beyond its historical appeal, these iconic combat shotguns command immense investment value in the modern firearms market. Securing a martially-ranged Model 1897 offers a rare opportunity to own an asset that continues to appreciate rapidly. Happy Bidding!

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
