 , if it doesn't have the heat-shield.... buy the gun,not the story. The US Gov't also had both Model 97s and Model 12s made in a 'Riotgun' configuration for use by Guards at Civilian Defense Plants. A Win. Model 97 or Model 12 Trenchgun will have sling-swivels and a 1907 Sling in addition to the Heat-Shield. If they're not there, it's a Riotgun.
The last true 97 Trenchgun I saw sold for about $5,500.00, Model 12 Trenchguns go for about a grand less.
