How does the seller get 1933 manufacture with a 20800 serial number? More likely late 1940s. A Model 21 Skeet Gun from 1932 trough 1935 gun would be a Tournament Grade Skeet Gun --

or a Trap Grade Skeet Gun --

Also, for 1932 & 3 Winchester only cataloged the Model 21 Skeet Gun with a straight grip. The pistol grip Model 21 Skeet Gun first appears in the 1934 catalogs. Most of the pre-war Model 21 Skeet Gun pistol grips were capless, like my 1941 16-gauge Standard Grade Model 21 Skeet Gun --

but a capped pistol grip was available.
