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.

  I've inherited a model 12-16 ga take down shotgun. Serial # 910314. 2 3/4" chamber, full choke. It is in a canvas bag with leather straps.
  
  What is it worth?
  
  
  Thanks

  That would truly be a unique Model 12 (as in Model 1912), manufactured at least 8 years before the production started! Even so, the very first Model 12's were 20 gauge.Aside from that, we would need a vastly more detailed description to even ballpark the value.
