Unmarked Winchester bayonet adaptor???

[Phrogpilot]

Gents,
On leave away from home so I dont have the aid of any of Canfields books. WWII Win 97 shotgun on GB has a " very desirable, unmarked, first pattern, six-hole heatshield/handguard". Same seller claims " I suspect that the receiver MAY HAVE received an arsenal reblue at some point, but it's very hard to say for sure.". His response was because it was SO nice he cant believe it could look so good without being refinished... i tried to explain to him there is no such thing as "Arsenal Reblue", esp after WWII as all rebuilds are parkerized...

Question is has anyone seen an unmarked, first pattern six-hole heatshield???

Thanks...

Sorry, guess i should add the GB auction. Seems like MANY things wrong with it... Winchester 97 1897 WWII US Trench Gun 12GA : Curios and Relics at GunBroker.com
