GHE 28GA Skeet

[Big D]

Kevin - No. The worksheet and the Cody letter both call it a skeet grade and it has all of the features associated with the skeet grade. I'm guessing they forgot to stamp it

[Researcher]

Cody called my Model 21 Skeet Gun "skeet grade" in the letter on it. No Winchester Catalog ever called them "skeet grade." They were the Model 21 Skeet Gun. In the early years the Model 21 Skeet Gun could be had in Tournament Grade, Trap Grade or Custom Built Grade. A few years in the Tournament Grade was dropped and for a few more years the Model 21 Skeet Gun could be had in Standard Grade, Trap Grade and Custom Built Grade. By the late 1930s the Trap Grade was dropped and from then on the Model 21 Skeet Gun was made in Standard Grade or Custom Built Grade (except for those few years it was Deluxe Grade).

I’m not at all surprised and with 10 days to go I think it will go a lot higher.

If the gun is right(Haven't heard any comments on if the case and barrel bluing is original) then wouldn't it sell for way more that the $16000 its currently at?

There's still 0 days to go until the auction ends...

The barrels have a date code of BE (B = January, E = 1936) then there is a repair code of KF3 (K = May, F = 1937). Seems like every Skeet Gun barrel flat I see has repair codes.

[Bill Murphy]

Dean's gun seems to have been "reconditioned" according to an earlier post. In Remington files, there seem to be many late guns that were "reconditioned" or "completed" before being sent out to dealers.

Skeet being the hot new game, I’m sure most of them saw a LOT of use.

Yes, mine went back to Remington to be refurbished and not used a whole lot, apparently, since then.

Not unusual for the stock configuration to be in error in the book. I’ve had it happen twice so far
