I recently bought a Winchester Model 1200 28 inch barrel. The serial # starts with a L and I have been told it was made somewhere between 1968 and 1975. The finish on it is not a shiny blue finish it’s like a satin finish. Did they do a satin type finish back then or could it have been refinished? Photos of finish in reply below.

Looks redone to me.
Shoot low boys. They're riding Shetland Ponies.

Appears to be the standard finish for that period.

I have one and the bluing looks a lot different from this one. Not matte at all.

From what I can tell it’s close to my finish. Could you get some close up photos jwm94?

John, I don’t have any close up pics of my 1200, but I have added two more below. The finish on the receiver is typical Winchester color…bright, smooth, and blue, but the metal finish on the sides has somewhat of a brushed surface. Hope this helps:
