Description

This is a Springfield Model 67H pump-action shotgun manufactured by Savage Arms, chambered for 12 gauge shells with a 3-inch magnum chamber. The firearm is configured with a 28-inch barrel featuring an Improved Modified choke, as indicated by the IM within a circle marking. The receiver is finished in a dark blue, while the barrel shows significant surface thinning and scattered areas of brown patina and light surface oxidation. The shotgun features a smooth wooden pump forend and a checkered wood buttstock which exhibits moderate finish wear and handling marks, particularly on the left side of the comb. It has been fitted with an aftermarket brown rubber “White Line” recoil pad from Pachmayr Gun Works, bearing U.S. Patent D 191,449. A red fiber optic-style front sight bead has been added to the muzzle. Visible markings on the left side of the receiver include SPRINGFIELD MODEL 67H / -SAVAGE ARMS- / WESTFIELD, MASS., U.S.A. The barrel is marked PROOF TESTED 12 GAUGE / 3 INCH CHAMBER. The trigger guard shows some paint loss and chipping on the edges. No serial number was observed in the available photographs. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The metal surfaces show approximately 60-70% of the original blued finish remaining, with significant thinning and a brown patina forming on the barrel. There are scattered areas of light surface oxidation and minor handling scratches throughout the receiver and barrel. The bore was not physically inspected. The action appears to function correctly when cycled manually, though it has not been live-fire tested. The wooden furniture is structurally sound but shows significant finish wear, scratches, and dings consistent with field use. The added Pachmayr recoil pad is intact but shows some hardening typical of age.
