...by a little old Quail hunter in Las Cruces New Mexico. A 16 gauge no less!

Very nice!!

I have never checked the pitch of my Parker VHE Skeet gun but yours looks about right for the 1" pitch.

Very nice ! We had a Model 21 16 gauge skeet gun in the shop for a going over and cleaning a few years back . It was a PG not a straight grip , but that gun felt great in the hands . I tried fairly hard to buy it but of course the owner didn’t wish to sell .

They don't get much nicer than that with a straight grip to boot. Congrats.

When the Model 21 Skeet Gun was introduced in the 1933 Winchester Catalogs, it was offered in Tournament, Trap and Custom Built Grades. Those remained the offerings through 1935.

Note the pistol grip Model 21 Skeet Guns have "field" dimension stocks while the straight grips have higher combs.

Between 1935 and 1936, Winchester eliminated the Tournament Grade Model 21s --

The extra cost option of a ventilated rib on Model 21 Skeet Guns is first mentioned in the 1938 Winchester catalog. The Trap Grade was dropped between the 1939 and 1940 Winchester catalogs.
