Atlas Collectible Firearms is extremely proud to present this authentic and formidable Winchester Model 12 "Trench Gun" takedown slam-fire shotgun. Manufactured in 1942, this combat-ready pump-action shotgun is a definitive piece of World War II history. Chambered in 12 Gauge with a 20 inch cylinder bore barrel, it features the iconic ventilated steel heat shield and bayonet lug adapter that characterized the legendary American "trench sweeper."
The firearm exhibits an honest, battle-hardened patina with consistent wear across the receiver and barrel, accurately reflecting its military heritage. The left side of the receiver is clearly marked with the "U.S." and ordnance bomb proof marks. The steel is paired with an original walnut stock and ribbed "corncob" forend that remain in sturdy condition, showing character-rich field use.
Accompanying this phenomenal war relic is a 1917 Remington bayonet with its original scabbard and a vintage leather military sling. The mechanical action is smooth and tight, and the bore is in great condition. This 1942 Winchester Model 12 Trench Gun represents a premier investment opportunity for the advanced military historian or the collector of authentic WWII small arms. It is a rare chance to own one of the most feared close-quarters weapons of the 20th century.
