Welcome to the forum huntingbound! Your Md 12, (Super Speed & Super X) is what is known as the Md 12 Duck Gun! It was made in 1949, (Ref: Dave Riffle) They came with Plain barrels, or a Raised Solid Rib. Barrel length was 30 or 32 inches. Measured from the breech bolt face, (when closed) to the end muzzle. They came with a weighted butt stock, and a solid red winchester recoil pad. Solid Rib Duck guns start out at $450-$500 in decent shape, and rise quickly depending on the condition. Look at the butt stock closely right behind the receiver , Duck Guns had a tendancy to crack stocks in the wrist area. If you could give a better description of the metal, and wood, I might be able to give you a better idea what it's really worth. Then again it was your grandfathers, he paid good money for that gun, it deserves to stay in the family a few more generations. Just keep a good coat of gun oil on it. Regards Dave 0
