serial #GQ20-431E, 20 ga (2 3/4”), 25 1/2” barrels choked improved cylinder and modified (the underside of the barrels marked Quail 1 and Quail 2), with bright excellent bores. The Model 23 Golden Quail was offered between 1984 and 1987, each year producing only 500 of one caliber; 20 ga was offered in 1984. The barrels of this Japanese-made shotgun retain about 99% original blue with a minor handling mark or two, the breech faces and watertable nicely engine turned, and the coin finished frame is in excellent condition and factory embellished with crisp foliate scroll engraving, two quail in flight on the right, a dog flushing a quail on the left, and a gold inlaid quail on the belly with “ONE OF 500” marked above and “GOLDEN QUAIL” below. The trigger retains nearly all its gold finish with just a small wear mark on the left side. The straight grip walnut stock and beavertail-style forend are in excellent condition showing attractive grain figure and robust checkering with fleur-de-lis patterns on the stock cheeks and tip of the forend, and features a factory solid red recoil pad giving a 14 1/4” length of pull with drops of about 1 1/2” and 2 3/8”. The factory barrel markings are intact crisp, both barrels and forend numbered “405”, and the matted rib reads “Golden Quail”. The shotgun locks up tight and on-face with the lever coming to rest just right of center and features a single selective trigger, automatic safety, mechanical triggers, ejectors, and is sighted with a Bradley-style white bead. The shotgun may require mechanical attention as the ejectors appear to trip weakly, before robustly ejecting the snapcap. Included is a luggage-style case in very good plus condition with a few minor wear and handling marks, featuring a tan fabric interior with “Golden Quail / by WINCHESTER” label, and a pair of keys. A fine smallbore double for the Winchester enthusiast. (14B11508-95) {MODERN} [N.R.A. Firearms For Freedom] (2500/4000)
