Barrel markings are transcribed as Ted Williams MODEL 300 * 20 GA. * 2 3/4 CHAM. * V.C. / SEARS ROEBUCK & CO. * NO. 273.521250 * MADE IN U.S.A.

Condition report:
The blued finish on the receiver and barrel remains largely intact with minor thinning on the high edges and areas of mechanical contact. The engine-turned bolt shows minimal wear. The high-gloss wood stock and forend are in good condition with scattered light handling marks and minor indentations consistent with field use. The bore is bright and clear. The action appears to function correctly, and the variable choke system rotates freely between settings.
