Have an Old Winchester?

[TRAP55]

I have a Model 12 shotgun serial no. 53196. According to the Winchester site, it's a 1913 manufacture. Is this correct?

Nope, but close. Matt your Model 12 was made in very early in 1914, I'm guessing about Feb, with 61,026 made that year.

Made from 1903 to 1932, with a total production of 126,211 rifles. Your rifle is in the polishing room records, so it should letter.

renardsubtil, I need the whole serial on that one, it's right at the split between Dec of 1912 and Jan of 1913.

Edit: Your photo editing skills need improvement.lol Made Jan of 1913, with 34,688 made that year. The "E" indicated a production change, they did this on most of the models. What the change was, has been lost to history on the majority of them.

Wow thanks Trap55! My model 97 is way older than I thought...

Yeah, I just posted mine for sale, I kinda sped through the editing ;( I appreciate ya pointing that out.

Hey Trap, think this one was made much more recently, but I think it'd be cool to know where this one came from.

Model 94 30-30, #4714040

sixtus, my data ends with the last one made in 1963, number 2,600,500.
Number 3,000,000 was assembled in 1970, and by January of the year 1980, 5,200,000.
Soooo, my best WAG is about 1977?
