I recently received a new cut key for my fathers old safe. In it I found an item of interest, a Winchester Model 23 Grande Canadian 20 gauge side by side double barrel shotgun. From what I understand they only made 450 of these and I believe mine is #77. I know nothing about this gun (besides the obvious markings on it and the fact that it appears to be mint) and don't have a manual for it, so that is my question does anyone know where I can get a manual for it either PDF format or where to order one. Any info on it would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any info on this piece
Cheers

No Box, No Paperwork, No Choke Tubes,
I'll take it off your hands for $500.00 and you cover shipping...
Enough of my silliness this morning , but where are the pictures of this fine SxS ?
There will be guys giving their eye teeth for something what you are describing too.
I am more interested in some pictures of your treasure.
Winchester might even be of some assistance should you strike out at the previous mentioned places to start.

Edit to add "I had to look in two references to find this one and then page by page and item by item.
WINCHESTER Model 23 GRAND CANADIAN.
12 or 20 gauge, 25 1/2 inch barrels with fixed chokes, coin finished receiver with oak leaf engraving, and one gold leaf inlay on receiver bottom, English AAA select walnut stock with beaver tail forearm, 51 (each) made in 12 gauge and 450 manufactured in 20 gauge. Approx. 50 two gun sets were also offered with cases (serial numbers 1-51).
Single gun: 100%-$2,850, 98%-$2,400, 95%-$1,950, 90%-$1,700, 80%-$1,500, 70%-$1,250 and 60%-%1,125
Cased Set 100%-$6,750, 98%-$6,050, 95%-$5,150, 90%-$4,450, 80%-$4,000, 70%-$3,450, and 60%-$3,075
Add 20% for 20 gauge.

I would think that to command these values, the guns would have to be in the original boxes, unfired with original paperwork. Otherwise they are just another old Model 23. "


Googled the model and make and inside of .39 sec. 24000 hits came up.
The above added edit was from SGW and recent of Feb of this year, interesting.

I think there was someone on the EE awhie ago who had one of these for sale. I think asking price was $5000.00 (single gun). I'm betting it didn't sell at that price. However, a very nice find. Congrats.
 
Figured out how to post the pictures and put them in another post titled Winchester Model 23 Grande Canadian pics (finally figured it out).
Cheers
