Pictured is not the exact item that you will receive, all are 3d printed and finished by hand so there will be slight differences in each as they are homemade. 1/6 Homemade Winchester Trench Shot Gun Model 1897 aka M97 United States **May have to use a little glue at the bayonet lug** Homemade by me from resin Approximately 6 5/8 inches long, 9 1/2 w/ bayonet The Winchester Model 1897, also known as the Model 97, M97, or
Trench Gun, is a pump-action shotgun with an external hammer and tube
magazine manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The
Model 1897 was an evolution of the Winchester Model 1893 designed by
John Browning. Although the Model 1897 was popular with American troops in World War I, the Germans soon began to protest its use in combat. The rejection of their protest greatly upset the German forces, because
they believed they were treated unjustly in the war. Shortly after the
protest was rejected, Germany issued threats that they would punish all
captured American soldiers that were found to be armed with a shotgun. |
