The Winchester Model 1897 riot shotgun and Model 07 rifle armed various police departments throughout the United States. In this lot, both shotgun and rifle are housed in the same case, which is similar in design to the famed Thompson submachine gun FBI model case, and like the Thompson FBI case, made for the perfect way to transport firepower when keeping up with the “Bonnies and Clydes” of the criminal underworld.
