I am looking for a value on my model 12, it is US stamped with the bomb on the receiver as well as on the barrel. It has a factory installed cutts compensator, the compensator is in great shape. There is no sling mounts on the gun, also the barrel is a different color of blue than the receiver, the serial numbers match from the barrel to the receiver. I ran the serial number and it is from 1943, the gun is in remarkable condition, I would grade it around 90%. I was thinking of selling it, I have owned it for a few years. Just wanted to get opinions of the value, I can’t find much about this configuration. Thanks for any help.

What is the barrel length and the choke marking on the barrel?

The bluing on the barrel and receiver frame should be identical in color.  The Cutts Compensator is highly unlikely to be factory original on a martially marked receiver & barrel, especially if the barrel has a choke marking on it.

  The barrel just 2 3/4 chamber, no choke markings. On the cutts compensator on one side it say Lyman on the other side it says 12 Mag-F. The colors are not that far apart, the barrel has a brownish tint where the action is more of a black tint, on the barrel there is a circle with what appears to be a P and a W in the circle. Barrel is close to 18 inches and then flares out for compensator. The sight is on top of compensator about 3 inches from the very end.

I think the Cutts is actually the choke, I have tried to upload pictures here but I have not figured it out yet.
