Winchester 1887 Shotgun 12 Gauge (AW209)

SN: 11035. Made in 1888. 12 Gauge with a 32" modified choke barrel. Bore is dark with light pitting throughout. Antique Winchester lever action shotgun. Shotgun has a brown patina with small traces of factory blue on protected areas. Stock is in very good condition with expected handling wear noted. Action functions properly. Overall very good condition. Comes with a letter from Winchester dated 1950, stating this gun should not be fired with modern ammo. Very interesting.
