Winchester collectors take note---we have acquired a Model 12 28ga. Pigeon Grade, all factory original, all proper with no flaws or question marks. This gun, sn1435828 built in 1952, is one of the most difficult Model 12's to find. Most experienced Winchester Model 12 gurus are acutely aware that few true 28ga.

Outfitted with 26" barrel factory choked Modified, proper donut post vent rib, mirror bores, no damage anywhere, 99.5%+ factory blue throughout, jeweled action, gorgeous Pigeon Grade wood with near perfect finish and checkering and 14 1/4" LOP to factory butt plate, no cracks or repairs, finest workmanship throughout, untouched FACTORY ORIGINAL IN ALL WAYS. We have photos of the stock tang that demonstrate the gun to be the real deal. See specifications in the tables below. THE RARITY OF THIS GUN MAKES IT A SUPERB INVESTMENT GRADE, WINCHESTER COLLECTOR'S TREASURE.
