Please HELP! Winchester Model 12 Cost.

[Camsnappersc]

I have an Older Winchester Model 12 that I am interested to know the value of. I have done quite a bit of research, but cannot come up with a definite value range. I cannot figure out the actual factory package.

The shotgun is setup for a left handed shooter, and has a left hand "williams" safety.

I doubt the poly-choke is a factory option, but I could very well be wrong.
The barrel is 26" to the end of the choke.
There is no rust on the firearm, and the overall condition is excellent.

The Serial # is :17285**

Any ideas of value? I believe the gun is a 1959.








Thank you for any help,
Nick

Somebody added the Polychoke and the rubber butt-pad. Those kill the collector value, but I'd say it is still a $275-300 shotgun. It is in really nice shape and would make a great shooter.

I'd agree that there is no real collector value, and would agree the $300 is a top price assuming internals are as good as the externals. You've got a great shooter there.
