Manufacturer: Winchester Type: Shotgun Model: 1901 Caliber: 10GA Barrel Length: 29" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3534 Serial Number (S/N): 70206 Reference Number (Ref #): N/A Notes: This firearm is a Winchester Model 1901 lever-action shotgun chambered in 10 gauge. The Model 1901 was introduced as a strengthened successor to the Winchester Model 1887 and was specifically redesigned to handle the higher pressures of smokeless powder 10-gauge shells. Production of the Model 1901 was limited to the 10-gauge configuration. Production year range: Winchester Model 1901 shotguns were manufactured from approximately 1901 through 1920. Based on Winchester serial number records, serial number 70206 falls within early production and corresponds to manufacture approximately between 1903 and 1904. The shotgun is fitted with a 29-inch barrel, resulting in an overall length of approximately 52 inches. It operates via a lever-action system with an exposed hammer and feeds from a tubular magazine integral to the barrel assembly. Loading is accomplished through the magazine tube rather than a detachable magazine. The shotgun is fitted with a single trigger. The receiver and barrel are finished in blue and paired with a traditional hardwood stock and forearm. Sighting equipment consists of fixed iron sights. The Model 1901 was historically used for heavy sporting and utility purposes, including waterfowl hunting, where the payload capacity of the 10-gauge cartridge was advantageous. Condition appears good, with wear consistent with age and use. The wood stock shows handling marks and finish wear. The metal components exhibit surface wear, patina, and thinning of the original finish. The bore appears serviceable under visual inspection, and no major structural defects are observed.
