Winchester 21 16 gauge clarification

[William Woods]

I decided to check on my little 21 after this post. It is only marked with the "Skeet" designation.

Thank you Mr. Chuck for your knowledge and information in all you do.

I have owned Model 21s with no trigger plate stampings that lettered as Tournament Grade guns, as well as guns with SKEET stampings which lettered as Tournament Grade guns. Deluxe Grade guns are much more easily identified without a letter because of different wood treatment. I assume almost all Deluxe grade guns are stamped as such on the trigger plate.

No photos of a standard skeet grade marking so here's mine 20ga 26" sk1 - sk2

This picture is of an early deluxe trap serial 12xxx. It has the two word style.
I am wondering if the was an early script that was changed later.

Nothing like getting a guy riled up to go shoot some skeet!

This early lettered deluxe skeet also has the space in Deluxe. All guns I have seen with the space are early guns. This makes me wonder if the deluxe script changed at some point for some reason.
