Designed by T.C. Johnson. First slide-action hammerless shotgun built by Winchester. Model 12 enjoyed great success in its 68-year history, with over two million sold. A high quality, well-made shotgun that is still in use in the hunting and shooting fields across the country. All Model 12s were of take-down variety. Dropped from regular product line in 1963, but a special model was produced in the Custom Shop until 1979. In 1972, Winchester resurrected Model 12 in its regular production line in 12-gauge only, with ventilated rib. This reintroduced Model 12 was dropped in 1980. Prices listed are for guns made pri­or to 1964 or with serial numbers below 1968307. Shotgun will be seen in many different combinations of gauges, barrel lengths, ribs and stocks, all of which determine value. The more rare a particular combination, higher the price. Buyer is urged to be extremely cautious before purchasing the more rare combinations, such as 28-gauge. Best advice is to seek assistance from an expert and get as many opinions as possible. Prices listed are for guns in standard configurations. NOTE: Following applies to all Model 12s: Add 10 percent for 16-gauge; 50 percent for 20-gauge; 600 percent for 28-gauge; 20 percent for solid rib; 30 percent for Winchester Special ventilated rib; 40 percent for milled rib; 20 percent for 32' barrels; 30 percent premium for original box and papers.
