Gun is marked 3 IN. CHAM. 28" Mod/Full. Is this a Duck? Serial is 19,xxx and appears to be 1947


Probably not, as the DUCK was only cataloged with 30- or 32-inch barrels, came with a Winchester recoil pad and was marked DUCK on the trigger plate. 159xx --



226xx --



The only way to know anything for sure is a Cody letter, which hopefully will tell that Winchester chambered the gun for 3" shells, and not the local gunsmith like this Parker Bros. --
