I have a 12g full choke nickel steel 1935. What do you think it’s worth? Model 12
Winchester was not using Nickel Steel alloy barrels in the year 1935. What is the serial number? What is the barrel length & choke marking? Standard (Field) grade gun, or something else. Quite frankly, you need to post several clear detailed pictures of the gun before anyone can begin to assess the potential value.

Model 12. 12 gauge full choke 28 inch barrel. Nickel steel stamped on barrel. Serial number lookup states 1935. Having trouble uploading photos . What do you think the value is?
What is the serial number?
Did you use the Date of Manufacture look-up resource here on the WACA website? – Dates -Winchester Collector
If your Model 12 was actually manufactured in the year 1935, the barrel is not original to the gun.
As of your last post, you have not yet mentioned what the graded condition of the gun is… hard used guns are hard to sell at any price, whereas a gun in excellent graded condition has potential value. Field grade (standard) Model 12 shotguns are the most common and have the least amount interest and value. Conversely, the Skeet and Trap grade guns can be quite valuable.
