This very rare model 12 was built in 1955. The 25-3/4" solid barrel is choked skeet and has a like new bore. The barrels have a chamber length of 2-7/8" and with a matted rib. The barrel blue rates 92-95% with fading at the carry point. The receiver extension and proof marks are where this fading appears. The original receiver blue rates 92-95% with some light fading at the loading port. The length of pull is 14" to its original Winchester period recoil pad. The drop at heel is 2-1/2". The fancy walnut butt stock is typical for a skeet grade gun. Rates 95-98%. The checkering is deep and sharp. Shows no wear whatsoever. This is a very rare and totally honest unmolested all original 28 gauge model 12. You would be hard pressed to find a more honest gun.
