What are they worth? I got one in a trade, great shape. It's a winchester model 12 featherweight. Any info would be appreciated.

If it is a 2 3/4in gun I would say 400.00-500.00 give or take. I do not claim to be an expert though.

I have collected model 12's for years and they are wonderful shotguns...
The guni n question will not be nickle steel as that was discontinued in the 40s. The featherweights came out in the 60's and you cannot take them down as you can a regular model 12.
A 30" gun 12 guage (Which I assume is full choke since most of the 30" guns are) would be a $350 to $450 at gun... with the $450 number being lucky to get.
i would hang onto it if it fits you well and you like it... you will certianly never wear one out.

I still shoot one that was my grandfathers. Made in the early 20s if I remember right. I dont know when he got it but it was before 1950, I know he and I have shot it over 60 years.

What about the value of a 20 gauge Model 12 pigeon grade and a 410 that is a model 12 but with a 4 something number.
I have a buddy that has these and he asked me the value and I had no idea.
