I didn’t know Winchester used English on their Japanese Repro’s....

Since this gun is such an early Serial number - P00036 - Does it make sense that it would be the same wood as the others in the prototype serial run?

Were they made with different types of wood as examples?

Another interesting feature is that has 28 inch barrels and that the barrel is roll stamped that it is chambered for 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells. I don't know if that many came that way or not.

A quarter sawn piece can, and usually does, look entirely different from a flitch (edge) sawn piece.

To my knowledge, all 20 and 12-ga. Repros with 28" barrels have 3" chambers and are stamped like yours, the only exception being the Sporting Clays Classic model -- which is stamped 2 3/4", but measures 3".

A quick look-see on Calico Hardwood’s website lists “French Walnut” as one of their offerings. Although I didn’t read the description on their website, I seem to recall it’s grown in CA for their inventory. I would guess, technically, that’s what is found on many Repro’s including Roger’s stock, and mine that is shown on pg 15 (ie: post 146). I always refer to it as ’English’ but maybe that’s wrong??

English, California English, French, Circassian and Turkish walnut are the same tree species - "Juglans Regia". Claro or California Claro is the tree species - "Juglans Hindsii". American Black walnut is - "Juglans Nigra".

Mineral lines, graining, coloration, etc. of each species of walnut varies dependent upon what region of the world that particular species of tree is grown in.

My 12 gauge 28” repro was stamped 2 3/4” only, but not a SCC.
