Winchester Model 42

Hello to all. I am new to the forum and would appreciate some help from the experts on a Model 42. This is a fairly nice shotgun with a 26 inch barrel marked "full". The strange thing to me is it has a full length ventilated rib. By full length the rib extends all the way from the tip of the muzzel accross the receiver to the small extention at the rear of the receiver. The rib is really well done. How about it?

Thank You
Thanks
The "SKEET" marking on the barrel is the choke... not the variation. You have a TRAP gun with a Skeet choked barrel. What is the serial number on the gun?
The gun is made up of pieces from two distinct and different guns. The collector value is gone and it is a nice looking hunting gun. The 16,000 portion was manufactured during 1933 or 1934. The 34,000 portion is from either 1937 or 1938. FULl serial number would help.

While the collector value for the shotgun, sa a whole, is diminished substantially due to the nonmatching serial numbers, this still will have a lot of value above a simple .410 pumpgun. This would "parts out" for a tidy sum.
