Does this M12 look all original?  Any input is appreciated as I’m a novice when it comes to this topic.

I am unable to enlarge the photos with out loosing clarity.  From what I can make out it appears to be all correct for a 1950’s vintage gun.  Steel grip cap and solid rubber Winchester pad.  Vent rib trap?  Be advised, these guns can become addictive!  Just one and then another and then………!  I now have 16 and the last one was a nice solid rib, but a bit rusty and had an ugly aftermarket pad.  I just had to rescue it.  Like finding a dirty puppy wandering around.  RDB

Not sure how to make the photos more visible.  I was wondering about the metal pistol grip cap being unmarked but apparently it’s correct.  Bluing seems to match the rest of the gun.  And yes I can see these as being addictive, the quality of the fit and finish is impressive.

According to the “The Model 12” book by Dave Riffle the metal grip cap was introduced about 1952.  The buyer had a choice of the plastic logo cap or the plain steel cap.  Pictured on page 145.  I have to give credit to this book for almost any knowledge I have concerning the Model 12.  My “go to” book if I want an answer.  If you want to know about the Model 12 look there first.  Very nice Model 12 you pictured!  Thanks for sharing.  RDB
