Bbl set numbers are marked on loops and tips of forend irons. Flat sided action featuring engine turned water table, non-automatic safety, and gold-plated single selective trigger is engraved in “Custom Grade” style with sprays of simple scroll on sides, top, and bottom of action. Exceptional, blazing, feather crotch figured “full fancy” American walnut steel capped pistol grip buttstock is oil finished and measures 14″ over checkered wood butt. Stock is checkered in “Custom Grade” style borderless point pattern. Matching beavertail forends, one for each bbl set, have black wood inset tips, and engine turned internals. (Wood of forend “2” is rather plain.) Drop at heel: 2-1/4″. Drop at comb: 1-1/2″. Weight with Set “1”: 6 lbs. 14 oz. LOP: 14″. Gun comes with two red and brown Winchester boxes with packing materials for this gun and extra bbls. PROVENANCE: Letter dated Aug 1981 stating that this gun order no. 3011-000-4202 is the first Winchester (Brand) Model 21 shipped by U.S. Repeating Arms. Another letter dated Feb 1983 gives original specifications. 3rd letter, Sept 1983, states that “further investigation of our records indicate that this is the last custom grade 20 ga. with or without a second set of bbls, produced under the Olin owned Winchester”. 4th letter dated Feb 1986, saying that a custom set of model 21’s was ordered under order numbers 4201, 4200, and 4202. Final inspection report for W33126. The Bill Phifer Collection. CONDITION: Essentially as new. Does not appear to have ever been assembled since factory proof and pattern firing (before assembly here for display and photographic purposes). It is difficult to find even the tiniest flaw in wood or metal finishes. Boxes are very slightly creased. 4-51820 MGM169 (20,000-30,000) – Lot 2350
