New to me Winchester '97 shotgun

kemassey · March 20, 2011, 04:27 PM

Is there a way to figure out about what year this gun was made? It has a 30inch barrel with take down. The last patent on the barrel is 1900. The receiver and barrel #'s match. The bluing is almost gone except under the barrel. I just liked it cause it's old. It all looks to be in working order. Any info would be appreciated.
