Description:
Offered is a beautifully upgraded 1959 Winchester Model 12 (Serial #1742839) in desirable 12 gauge configuration featuring a 30” ventilated rib barrel with mid bead and red Bradley-style front bead. Chambered for 2 3/4” shells and weighing 8 lbs 2 oz, this gun balances exactly how a serious Model 12 trap configuration should.
 
Stock dimensions are excellent and highly usable:
• LOP: 14 3/8”
• Drop at Comb: 1”
• Drop at Heel: 2 1/4”
• Cast: 1/4” off
 
This shotgun features hand-cut receiver engraving with gold inlaid game scenes including flushing birds and a working dog, surrounded by tasteful scrollwork. The engraving is signed and attributed to master engraver Angelo Bee, adding legitimate collector appeal while maintaining classic restraint that complements the Model 12 platform.
 
Condition is strong throughout:
• Excellent blue remaining on barrel and receiver
• Clean, straight ventilated rib
• Gold inlays sharp and intact
• Attractive figured walnut with crisp checkering
• Solid wrist with no visible cracks
• Mechanically excellent
 
Serial number 1742839 dates production to 1959 firmly within the prime era of Model 12 manufacture. The Model 12 remains one of the finest American pump shotguns ever built, and this example combines that legacy with tasteful custom gold work in a highly desirable 30” vent rib configuration.
 
This is a serious collector-grade shooter that presents extremely well both in hand and on display.
 




We warrant that the firearms are as they appear in our photos but do not warrant mechanical
condition or operation.
