Winchester Trench Gun Barrel

Member Posts: 1,503 ✭✭✭✭
Picked this up today at a Gun Show.
Looks to be for a Winchester Trench Gun. Model ?
It's a 12 Ga 20" with the correct 3 three inletted area for screws for the Trench gun Shroud
Appears to be un used, with grease still inside the bore, no markings on barrel from use
Has a 41- and index mark on the bottom of barrel and No proof marks on barrel.
But .... seems to be strange. the Barrel is Marked Made iIN THE U.S.A and the 2 /3/4 CHAM CYL" is in different script.
Not Roll Marked for Model 12 or 1897 Last Pattent date isJuly 5 1910
What might I have here?

The Made in USAis really whats throwing me off. Reproduction ??
Emailed Bert to have a look.
Sold a surplus? Probably not proofed till on a firearm?
The Made in USA was what was puzzling.
Thanks dave
