Finally got around to taking some pics of my Model 12 in 12 Ga., Full Choke, with a 32 inch barrel. Manufactured in 1951, and has matching numbers.
She has some surface rust which happened when my Father kept for several years while I was overseas and in the Military, which I have to figure out the best way to remove. I've thought about rebluing her as she belonged to my Grandfather and I don't plan to part with her.
When introduced as we all know they were called the "perfect repeater", and was Winchester's first hammerless pump. Also, was Winchester's first gun of any type chambered in 20, 16 & 12 gauges.
