I went and looked at the gun this afternoon. It has the same grip cap as Randy has posted. The only difference is there is no name, city or State engraved.The 870 was manufactured in 1951.
30 inch vent ribbed barrel. Interesting there is no choke marked on the barrel.
Very nicely figured wood, Montecarlo stock with forend wood that matches the stock.
Definitely has the Etchen pistol grip.
It has a very old and mashed down two layer sponge rubber Jostam pad.
I did not note the SN but the seller said he looked it up and it was manufactured in 1951 and is Marked Wingmaster and marked 2 3/4” chambers.
Do these guns have any collectability? The seller is asking $500 which seems high but then again I haven't looked at Wingmasters for some time.
