Help on value of winchester model 12

[eem228]

I inherited a model 12 that my uncle had converted to a trap gun. I dont know a lot about the gun except that it looks to have a custom stock and a simmons high rib for trap that was installed. It has normal wear but overall looks to be in good condition. Serial number dates it to 1919 production date. I attached a few pictures but can get more if needed. Wondering the value because I was thinking about selling. Dont think I would have use for a gun of this type.

Nice looking gun!! It all depends on a person looking to buy it. To a collector not very high. What kinda price was you hoping to get. It's got non checkered aftermarket wood that looks nice

You still looking for info or interested in our conversation

All original parts (collectible) : $250.00 @ 60% up to $750.00 @ 100% according to blue book offerings.
Modified with no original wood, and a nice shooter ? Anybody's guess. Geography and seasons play a large part determining the market value of a shooting tool, Usually sparking interest @ a C note or two below either what it ought to be or what we believe it to be worth. If time is on your side, start high, maybe 5 + and go from there.
Just an opinion as asked for, not my cup of tea.

Thank you for the info. That's around the range I was guessing.

a lot of model 12's were converted like this back when trap was taking off and model 12's were plentiful. take it out to a trap and skeet range and let a few of the old boys have a look, some one may be willing to pay extra just for the nostalgia of it. I wish I still had mine.
