    I think if it was a pigeon grade it would have 3 diamonds on the bottom of the forearm

    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.

    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.
