As a side note, I just bought my first Model 21. I studied Schwing and Stadt's books and looked at a number of them before settling on a 16 gauge Skeet model. I'm pretty sure it is all original. I didn't buy it as an investment or something to sell down the line. I bought it because I always wanted one and finally could. I have already used it for woodcock.
When my time comes, my wife or sons can decide on the next owner.

Extra Extra fun to shoot a vintage gun!

OMW, of all the gauges of the M21, to my eye, the 16 appears to have the best looking proportions.

No doubt the model 21 Winchester is right up there with the Colt single action in cult following.

GLS, yes I agree. I nearly purchased a 20 gauge Trap grade with 28" barrels. I went with the 16 because I knew in my heart that was what I wanted.
At just a tad over 7 pounds I wouldn't call it the ideal partridge/woodcock gun, but for morning hunts like mine I'm enjoying it.
