Recently acquired a Winchester Model 101 Pigeon Grade 12 gauge. The serial # starts with a PK186XXX and the receiver is not "coined finished", but is blue. There is a pigeon on the bottom of the receiver and "Winchester Pigeon Grade" on the top barrel (left side).

I can't find a date for that serial # ANYONE SHED ANY LIGHT ON THIS???

Thanks, the "PK" prefix to the serial number must designate a special series. I have 4 other 101's with normal serial numbers. 1 is pigeon grade 410, 2 are 11 of 25 in the Ruffed Grouse series, and 1 field grade 20 gauge.
