Winchester Model 12 "Stainless Steel" 20 Gauge – Circa 1927
Description: This is an exceptionally rare Winchester Model 12 factory marked “Stainless Steel” shotgun in 20 gauge, manufactured in the late 1920s during the early experimental period of Winchester’s stainless barrel production. Very few Model 12 shotguns were produced with factory stainless steel barrels, and surviving examples remain highly sought after by advanced Winchester and Model 12 collectors. The barrel is clearly roll marked “STAINLESS STEEL,” identifying it as one of Winchester’s limited production corrosion resistant barrel experiments from the interwar period. These barrels were significantly more difficult and expensive to manufacture, and production numbers were extremely low. Stainless steel Model 12s are widely recognized today as special order or trial era guns and are far scarcer than standard blued production models. This example is configured as a 20 gauge with a 26 inch barrel and is choke marked MODIFIED. The bore is bright, clean, and free of pitting, indicating careful use and proper maintenance over the past century. The shotgun remains in completely original configuration. The metal shows honest, even wear consistent with age but no rust or abuse. The walnut pistol grip stock and forearm are solid with no cracks or repairs, showing only minor handling marks from normal use. Original finish and factory configuration remain intact, which is critical for collector value in these rare stainless steel variants. The Winchester Model 12, introduced in 1912, quickly became known as 'The Perfect Repeater' and is one of the most respected pump action shotguns ever produced. Special production variants such as stainless steel barrel guns represent an important and fascinating chapter in Winchester’s manufacturing history and are rarely encountered on the market. This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a scarce early stainless steel Model 12 in 20 gauge a highly collectible configuration that appeals to both Winchester specialists and advanced pump shotgun collectors. • Manufacturer: Winchester • Model: Model 12 “Stainless Steel” Marked • Gauge: 20 Gauge • Barrel Length: 26 inches • Choke: Marked Modified • Chamber: 2 3/4 inch • Action: Pump • Stock: Walnut pistol grip • Condition: Excellent overall, original configuration • Bore Condition: Bright and free of pitting • Manufacture Era: Circa late 1920s Shotgun Gauge: 20 Gauge Manufacturer: Winchester Model: Model 12 Serial Number: 478042 Barrel Length: 26 Bore Info: EXCELLENT Chambers: 2 3/4 Condition: Excellent Metal Condition: Excellent Wood Condition: Excellent Bore Condition: Excellent Action: Pump Triggers: Single Stock: Walnut Stock Comb: 1 3/8 Stock Heel: 2 Fore End: Tootsie Roll Butt Pad: Original Winchester Butt Plate LOP: 14 Rib: Ribless Finish: Blues Sights: Brass Bead Manufacture Date: 1927 Chokes: Marked Modified Item Location: Michigan Price: $2,199.00 Buy Now Contact Seller |
