What is this engraved model 12 with a goat turd on the end of the 21" barrel worth?

Barrel 27" total length with choke.

Great condition. I’d like to find a vent rib 26-28” barrel for it.

$1500 <-- to comply with rules only

good Lord, what idiot CUT the barrel on that piece of art?????

Thinking the same thing. If that had the std 28” VR barrel……..$$$$

That was the way to get adjustable chokes back in the day before barrels were threaded for them. Probably no way to tell who engraved it but it isn't factory.

So negative.

I think it came that way but not sure.

I’ve been told by another Winchester guy that it is factory engraved.

Jarring to our eyes, but it was state of the art back in the day..

Folks ordered Model 12's from the factory with a Simmons Rib and a Cutts Compensator installed.....BACK in th' Day. Cutts is a muzzle Brake and they work....just a Shove and not a Shoulder Jarring JAB!! Got one..... You could also send your barrel to Simmons and they would install there Rib with a Cutts or a Poly-Choke.

only thing I have seen worse was a James Purdy double twenty gauge with the bbl sawed off to maybe 14 inches. Hurt my heart to look a that gun....

I've seen some as such with REAL GOLD Inlays on the Receiver......Model 12's are SPECIAL!!

Damn'.....YOU must not KNOW th' HISTORY of th' MODEL 12!!!! Get a copy by George Madis....th' "Model 12".....or look it up
After WWII when sales ROSE th' Cutts was VERY Popular as it was first designed/used on th' .45 Caliber Machine Guns to reduce "RISE" of th' Gun!!

As a featherweight, I bet it kicks like a mule. That recoil pad serves a valuable purpose.

Super cool. Beautiful.

Nice looking gun. Looks like somebody jammed a duck call on the barrel.

yer absolutely right dumbass. I've prolly owned 50 Model 12s from Black Diamonds, to Featherweights to 410s(model 42) and every gauge made. Any other tidbits of history ya think I need to know???

I too, may get cussed at, but thats ok. I have a Rem 11-48 and mod 58 with Cutts comp barrels. I have at least 3 cutts barrels for each. Over many years, I was able to come across the extra barrels. I traded an original barrel from each for 2 of the barrels. I was hoping to come across other guns to put those barrels on. They do add a little weight to the front but they pattern better than anything else. Im gonna get a cussin for this too but they do reduce recoil some. I think my guns are worth more than the original and have been offered a good amount for the barrels,

Try to buy chokes for the Cutts these days

Is that like a 45” barrel?

27"
