Hi!
I hope this finds you all well. I inherited a Winchester model 12 a28 ga shotgun from my dad and am curious if there are any suggestions on the best way to sell it?
I haven’t ever shot the gun (supposedly it’s only be shot like 4 times) and am hoping it can find a new home with another owner. I’ve emailed the Cody center in WY for a certification letter but am curious for other user’s experiences selling a similar gun.
The serial number is in the 800k range.
Winchester model 12 -28 ga
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. thank you! Beth

Hi Beth, That is an interesting and likely original prewar 28 gauge. The 800,xxx serial number falls within a confident serial number block range. I’m interested! Scott

I believe Scott must be very interested. This is his first and only post in 22 years!

Word of a real 28 gauge Model 12 has been known to stir interest among former WACA residents of the Cody cemetery.

Steve and all Winchester fans! I’ve collected Winchester model 12 and 42 shotguns for 45 years, been fortunate to acquire a nice collection. I look forward to more discussion and contribution of all things Winchester!

Scott, I’d love to hear and see more about your collection, especially the 42s.
