DESCRIPTION UPDATED! We spoke to Angelo Bee and he confirmed that he engraved and embellished this set “Around 30 years ago” The Letter of Authenticity is pending and will be forwarded to the winning bidder. Set includes 3 Winchester model 12s in 12ga, 20ga, and 28ga, also a matching model 42 in .410. All designed for Skeet shooting. Vent rib barrels, white bead front sights and a brass middle sight. Barrel band, Front section of barrels closest to breech, receivers and trigger guards are fully engraved with a leafy scroll. Winchester proof marks, serial numbers and choke markings are gold filled. Each left side panel on gun frames depicts a different station of the skeet semi circle and houses with a raised engraving laden with gold. The right side panels depict an individual shooter. The engraving on each section is framed with gold inlay and meticulously accented. Trigger and bolt release are also gold plated. Safeties on all four guns have been removed. All four guns have fancy walnut straight English wood stocks and fore grips with matching, expertly checkered fleur-de-lis at the wrist and flowing design toward toe. The comb on all four guns is a near level comb (drop at comb is same or just slightly higher than drop at heel), ideal for skeet. Bottom of trigger guards have embossed initials “ALB”. Winchester letters accompany the 3 model 12’s (model 42 letter was unavailable) All four have Winchester rubber recoil pads. Truly a magnificent set, a pinnacle to any shotgun or skeet enthusiast and their collection. *C&R Eligible Condition: Excellent! The engraver finished each shotgun with a deep, almost black gloss bluing which creates a powerful contrast to the gold embellishment. Handling marks, storage marks and some light scratches around, no major distractions on any of the four guns. Lock up and function is very good, tight. Bores are excellent. Some mild cycling wear on bolts and feed tubes. Trigger gold plating is thin, worn on some.
