Winchester 21

[Researcher]

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.

One gun offered by dealers in PA and way out west at prices differing by $500. I'll take the cheaper one, which is not so cheap. Chokes skeet and IC?? What are the actual choke markings from the factory? Both sellers were careful not to show us pictures.
