They seem to be in very good condition for retired PD riot guns. The ones I'm familiar with only came out of the cars for serious stuff, qualifications and maybe cleaning.

There are a few scuffs and nicks to be sure. Overall, they are in pretty good shape. Maybe the serious stuff was minimal. 
  

The serious stuff isn't the problem, it's riding around in a patrol car 24/7 with people and equipment coming and going. Case, if it had one, is generally open to the mud and dirt and grit that find their way into a patrol car.

Hi BigGuy72
You have serial 329286 - NHPD number 43, serial 324334 NHPD number 61, serial 326380 NHPD number 151, They were all made in early 1967. 
I am editing this post as I see that the photos are there.  Please provide a photo of the ButtPlate/Recoil Pad, and Serial Numbers as proof.  I will post a letter for you giving more details later today.
This is my second Edit.  I have downloaded the photos and cleaned them up.   They have all been refurbished, and two have had new Bolts added- look at the Breeches - the top two have jewelled bolts, the bottom one is plain - please identify the three guns, as well as provide barrel address photos - one is enough if they are identical, otherwise three separate named photos.  I will wait for the photos before I reply.  End second edit but read on.
They should be all with 18 inch barrels, and no bayonet attachment.  I have a number of other RIOT guns within your serial numbers and no other models.
I have a chapter on these in my forthcoming book (Just search for keith Nix on Forum), and will add them to the database.
as well as the model 1200, I can also date the Models 1300, 1400, 1500, 2200 and 2400 shotguns.  The book also covers the Super X guns.
please send the following photos to keith.nix@nixenco.com.au when you can: Overall Left and Right view, Serial Number (with the breech closer) and the underside of the receiver, Left Stock, Butt plate or recoil pad, Left receiver, Forearm and Barrel Address, close up Barrel Address (check both sides of the barrel in 1969), Front sight) any other sight – mid barrel or rear sight), Pistol Grip Cap, Left side of receiver, and  Right side of receiver (Breech closed). “
or you can private message me.

I'll work on some pictures tomorrow when I get off of work.

I am wondering what is "NHPD". There are about 4 towns in NH with NH associated with those initals.
  

I guess I never thought about it like that. I always assumed the NH was for New Haven PD in Connecticut. I guess NH could stand for anything that fits. New Hampshire is an option, but I'm not sure there is a state PD that would stamp anything that way.

Hello, welcome to the forum. What you post seems interesting, butas a guest you can’t post pictures, and I think that’s going to be the best way for you to get information and possible value ideas. You can post pictures to a host website and attach the link. You are welcome to email them to me and I’ll post them for you. Bhanzel8@aol.com
  

Sent pics. Let me know if you want or need more detailed pictures of anything specific.

They all appear to be pre 68 because no L serial numbers.

NHPD number 43 serial 329286

NHPD number 61 serial 324334

NHPD number 151 serial 326380

Any thoughts as to value or collectibility?

I have attached an abbreviated reply to your post 29, and my reply to you as Post 30.  If you want more go to Post 30 and advise.

Sincerely

Keith

Thanks Bert.
Hi Graemia, Yes I can help you with that.  As it happens Winchester used up old stock to supply 20 inch barrels instead of 18 inch barrels but only in Australia and New Zealand. So I need the barrel length and the barrel address when you send photos.  You can Private Message me if you wish or direct email to keith.nix@nixenco.com.au or post the photos back here.  See my post No 28
I live in Brisbane, and presently in Townsville so will not be on line for another 12 hours
Keith
  

Hi Keith

Yes, the barrel is indeed 20" long.  The barrel address in the photos is New Haven Conn USA and the serial number is L1269253 as shown in the photo.  I read it wrong earlier.

Cheers  

Graeme

And a s a minor correction, that's an 1897 that I'm fixing.
  

I knew what you were trying to tell us.
  

I even read it as 1897 3 times before I saw the correction and went back to check.   Funny how the brain works.
