9/4/19 - 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. The condition of the bluing is outstanding, rating at over 90% as there isn't much actual finish loss. There is, however, notable oxidation on receiver and some surface rust on the heat shield and bayonet lug. The bayonet lug has the correct purple hue to it and is absolutely original. Chambered in 12 gauge, these were lethal in close quarters combat and were used extensively in the pacific campaign during WWII by US marine corps. Excellent bore and smooth action. Stock has minor dings and nicks but no major defects.
