The Model 1897 was an evolution of the Winchester Model 1893 designed by John Browning. It was the first truly successful pump-action shotgun produced. From 1893 until it was discontinued by Winchester in 1957, over a million of the type were produced in various grades and barrel lengths. 16 gauge guns had a standard barrel length of 28 inches, while 12 gauge guns were furnished with 30 inch length barrels. Special length barrels could be ordered in lengths as short as 20 inches, and as long as 36 inches.
