After investigation it seems the gun I have been looking at is a European version with light scroll engraving and Winchester in a banner .narrow English type forend  instead of the usual beaver tail one  .It has  the standard pistol type grip .sadly according to the dealer it only has 70mm chambers ,which I must admit I have never heard of in a 23 (could he have made a mistake?) and standard 28 ins barrels with a single trigger as standard .An interesting and unusual Winchester .

Former keeper in our syndicate has one, and the cardboard box it originally arrived in! He couldn’t believe it when I told him how much good ones were going for these day’s.
I’ve been given first dibs, which I often remind him of, but I don’t think he has a mind to sell.
