SOLD - Rare Stevens Model 620 Trench Shotgun With Bayonet

Description

6/7/24 - This is a very rarely encountered Stevens Savage Model 620 trench shotgun, made as a part of US military procurement during WWII. Unlike its M520 counterpart, this was a hammerless model, very much like Winchester M12. It was produced in trench configuration in limited numbers and is very difficult for a collector to acquire. This particular gun is a textbook example, with all the correct military markings, original finish and all original parts including the bayonet lug and heat shield. Canfield reports that fewer than 10,000 military trench examples were ordered during WW2. This particular example is in good condition with but does have thinning to the finish on the receiver and heat shield throughout. Receiver and barrel both have the flaming bomb proofs, and the receiver is 'U.S.' marked. The wood parts are in great shape with minor handling wear. Excellent, shiny bore. Comes with a very nice Winchester bayonet with scabbard, though the Winchester proof is somewhat faded.
