The Model 59, which was nothing more than the 50 Lightweight except for the Dupont barrel, had the same buttplate.

I really appreciate you guys checking your shotguns.

I think the buttplate you are looking for has the single word "Winchester" in the usual italicized type, set in a horizontal stippled rectangle from toe to heel.  In much smaller type below it the words "Trade Mark" appear in the rectangle. The stippled rectangle is set into a much larger oval of coarse checkering that occupies most of the buttplate. 

I found a photo of one on the Web:

I have seen the repros for sale with the round logo but I am pretty sure that is not correct for this gun serial number 80,267, does anyone know what it should look like and if they have one for sale..

Thanks

Ken

If you go back and read Post 110 and take action appropriately I will fully answer your question with a two page response.

As I will for model 1300s, 1400s and 1500s.

Bought a Winchester Model 1912, 20 ga of course, with an SN 44. It wasn't even listed with the SN in the description.

One of our Down Under members, Keith Nix, is writing a book on the Winchester post-63 pump and automatic shotguns, a field that's gone begging too long.
