Winchester 1897 Trench Gun

[jim-d]

Gentlemen, this was given to me from my late uncle's collection. I am not very familiar with trench guns, so I am hoping for some input from the experts on it authenticity and possible value.
Thank you4140341404414054140641407

More photos, There are no markings on the stock, and nothing on the receiver.
Thanks again for any input.

That is a real WWI trench gun with fairly typical wear for a 100 year old gun.
The PAOD marking I think indicates Panama Ordinance District, so it possibly got a refinish or repair at some point in the past.
It is worth north of $2000
