I currently have an older Winchester Model 12 I am considering selling or trading off. Serial number is 1600483 I believe it was manufactured in the early 1950's. The gun has the corn cob forearm, a 30 inch barrel with vent rib, chamber is 2 3/4 inch, I have only seen one other gun simular at Cabelas, the only difference was it was chambered for 3 inch and called a "Heavy Duck Gun". The condition of my is ok, the blueing on the receiver shows wear but no rust, wood in a good to excellent condition. The receiver was tapped for the fitting of a peep site (which I do have). Any info you can give me about this gun and its value would be appreciated.

  Search the completed auction side, find a picture that looks like yours. $200-$1000

  Around here,,,these are not bringing what they used to. Collector grade in the smaller guages will still bring good cash. 12 gauges are about 300-350-maybe 400,,,imo..[:I]

  OK...that is about what I am seeing on the auction side...If I could sell a couple of mine I might try to buy this one mainly due to the sentimental issues with it.
  
  
  Thanks Bert

  The IMP-CYL choke adds value to the gun over a standard FULL choke gun.
