I saw quite a few of them when I was a kid in the 1950s.But they had been around for years, yes? Decades? If not, what model was it that I was thinking of from WWI?

He was right that the Winchester model 1897 was the most common trench gun used in WWI. I read somewhere that also some of the Remington pumps which look like an Ithaca model 37 were also used.
I think they were also used in WWII along with the model 12 and the Browning auto.
