Correct. All WWII models were takedown. All WWI models were solid frames.looks like one is a takedown receiver ?

Yep I spent a lot of time researching and figuring out the difference between real fakes before buying. I got pretty good at it quick, since thereās 100 fakes for every real one lol. If not more!Wow, REALLY nice!
One of the most faked MilSurps, you really have to know what you're looking at. They bring big bucks!
Itās sad to see. For every 1 original, thereās 10 fakes. And most people havenāt done the research to recognize the signs of real vs fake and end up paying 1500+ for it thinking they got a real one for a good deal.What get me is I have seen some really nice shotguns on GB that someone had ruined by cutting down and trying to pass off as a trench gun.
My good friend wrote that article. Talk to him atleast once a week.Just read this last week:
An Official Journal Of The NRA | The Truth About āTrench Gunsā
As reported by many of the troops who participated in the combat trials, "trench guns" were often not suited for the tactical tasks demanded of the units who carried them, made even worse by the fact that suitable ammunition was never fielded during the course of the Great War.www.americanrifleman.org

Nice! I would love a norinco, but prices have been creeping up on them and hard to justify. Would love to have a copy to shoot, without having to potentially harm these old girls. I do have a repro heat shield, but hard for me to chip up a perfectly good commercial 97 or 12.Nice original Winchesters. My 97 trench is a norinco. Same gun but in metric. Now you need a Model 12.
My WWI and WWII Winchester 1897 trench guns. Both are real, with correct markings and original slings. WWI has a Winchester made 1917 bayonet, while the WWII one has a Remington made bayonet.
Usually 1000-1300 Iāve seen recently. Which is insaneWhat do the Norincos go for (retail)?
