*SCARCE WINCHESTER MODEL 1901 LEVER ACTION SHOTGUN.

SN 76401. Cal. 10 ga. Standard grade shotgun, blue finish with 32″ steel bbl, half magazine and silver front bead; receiver has the “WRACO” trademark on the left side; mounted with very nicely figured, uncheckered American walnut with rnd knob buttstock that has checkered steel buttplate. Bbl & magazine tube have matching walnut panels on each side. According to The Winchester Book, Madis, there were only about 13,000 of these scarce shotguns produced between 1901 & 1920, with a few assembled from parts until about 1930 when all the remaining parts were shipped to Mexico. These shotguns were only produced in 10 ga and were simply a continuation of the Model 1887 with a few minor improvements. They were a strong reliable shotgun but were unable to compete with the “new” slide-action repeaters. The Model 1901 Winchester has been used in various movies, but most famously by Arnold Schwarzenegger in several of his movies. PROVENANCE: Robert H. Haskell, III Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Bbl retains 97-98% strong orig blue with only a few small nicks & faint muzzle edge wear; magazine tube retains about 95% orig blue with a series of small nicks & light wear around the carry point; receiver, top tang & lever retain 98-99% orig blue with only faint sharp edge wear. Wood is sound with the buttstock showing a few light nicks & scratches and retains about 98% bright orig varnish. Forearm panels have a few light scratches with light wear & dulling at the carry point. Mechanics are crisp. Bright shiny bore. 4-50201 JR34 (2,500-4,000) – Lot 1161
