hopefully someone can help me out i was just gifted a Winchester model 1897 E series 585334 any info would be much appreciated 

Can you provide pictures of the gun?  What is the barrel length and choke marking on the barrel?  Take Down or Solid frame? Guage (16 or 12)?

The serial number IDs it as an April 1913 production gun.

ill have to get some pictures but it is a 12G and it is a 30 in barrel.

I’m not sure the marking on the barrel what should i be looking for? 

it is a solid frame i believe 

You can send the pictures to my email – [email protected]

The choke marking will be on left side of the barrel very near the receiver frame.  It is most likely marked “FULL”, but could be “MOD”.

Hello, i inherited my great great grandfathers model 97 E 12 gauge. SN: 740476. 

Juts looking for any available information on the gun. 

Thank you,

Without seeing pictures of the gun (or a detailed written description of it), the only information I can provide is the date of manufacture… October 1920.  The barrel length and choke marking on the left side of the barrel will partially identify what variation it is.
