Due to emergency purposes i gotta let this absolute beauty go. As the title says it is an 1897 winchester 12 gauge trenchgun that from what i was told was manufactured in 1901. The story i got on it was that it started life as an 1897 12 gauge takedown shotgun with a longer barrel that got cut down to a riot configuration, that at some point was converted to a trenchgun. It does have the capability of slam fire but due to it being over 100 years old, id be cautious. It again hurts me immensely to let her go, but like i said some emergency situations have arised and I need the cash.
