There is nothing that we can tell you about the gun without first seeing a set of clear pictures of it.

Based on what I am seeing, your Model 12 is not a factory Pigeon Gun.  It appears that a past owner had the gun reworked to make it appear like a Pigeon Gun, but the person who engraved the Pigeon did a poor job of it.  If you want the “Expert” answer on it, contact Pauline Muerrle.  She was the Custom Shop engraver that actually engraved the Pigeons on the guns.

I didn’t get to see the original “pigeon grade” in question… but shouldn’t it look something like this?  🙂
