Winchester wanted to compete with the European shotgun makers so they built the model 21 double barrel and tested it against the to top guns in Europe. Mr Olin used guns out of his own collection and run proof rounds to test the strength of all the guns. The best gun from Brittain ran 60 proof rounds before it broke and the German gun went 200 rounds before it broke. The Winchester fired 2000 rounds of proof loads without a failure then they quit the test.
Such is the legend of Winchesters.
First one I have seen, a 21 in our classifieds but there is one there now. It looks a little rough but you won't see many of these so enjoy.
