This video from Forgotten Weapons explores the fascinating guns involved in the Winchester-Bannerman patent infringement lawsuit over pump-action firearms. It highlights a prototype Magot pump-action rifle and a Winchester-built Krutzsch patent pump-action rifle, presented at the Cody Firearms Museum. The lawsuit stemmed from Bannerman's ownership of the first US patent on pump-action shotguns, acquired from Sylvester Roper. Winchester defended itself by proving the patent's invalidity through prior art, including these obscure European designs, ultimately winning the case and leading to the development of their successful Model 1897 pump shotgun. The video emphasizes the impracticality of the Magot and Krutzsch designs, yet acknowledges their significance in patent law.
This video delves into the history and evolution of Winchester pump-action shotguns, focusing on the influential Model 1897. It details how John Browning's design, initially released as the 1893 model, was adapted to handle smokeless powder and overcome patent disputes with the Spencer shotgun. The description highlights the 1893's limitations with early smokeless powder and the subsequent product recall and replacement with the more robust 1897 model, contributing to the scarcity of the 1893 variant today. The video also touches upon the patent landscape involving Christopher Spencer and Sylvester Roper.
