I have my father's model 12 pigeon grade, it has a pigeon stamped underneath where the magazine meets the receiver right above the serial number. Early Winchester's always had very nice wood! Nice example here Loanman
Is TRAP stamped on base of magazine tube? Manufactured 1966 (late) according to Madis. New Winchester Vent Rib (3 pin) introduced May 1960.
Wow, What a beautiful gun and bet it will just pound targets. That would be a tough one if I owned it, Shoot it or just look at it?
This M12 should be put to the use it was deigned for; shoot! Like most shotguns, buying for investment gain and storing in the safe usually results in meager or even negative gains year's later The enjoyment in the use of this "perfect repeater" will trump any minor monetary gain in the future by not shooting it. Someone who appreciates the ultimate pump repeater should give it a good home. If you feel you can't afford the investment, let me know and I'll extend credit at 20% APY. Now THAT would be an investment. LOL GLWS.
