Hi Bert,
Did you see these? Actually 1 fake and 1 legit partial spruce gun.

I had not seen that listing yet. It is sad that the legit gun has been stripped down to its present condition.

Just joined as I’m the dork that bought them! Which one is real?
I got into Winchesters and Marlins whilst living in New Haven, CT for a few years. Now that I’m in the PNW (Seattle), I thought it would be very cool to add a regional specific piece!
Bert, great info on here. You’ve done a dandy job of curating this information.
Best,

Hi Christian,
Serial number 835801 is the fake. The US and flaming bomb stamps are incorrect.
There’s a great article about the spruce guns in Summer 2005 Winchester Collector magazine. See link below.
