Can anyone provide a rough estimate on the value of this shotgun? Thanks!

These were really cool and the waterfowl gun in their day. Steel shot requirements pretty much put them in the closet. 1958 production and this appears to be a really good restoration. Re-blue and re-stock the collector value is pretty much gone. But if the action is still tight and the inside of the barrel is good it would make someone a really cool turkey gun. So my very un-qualified opinion is $600-$800. But the reality in the market today is that stuff is worth whatever you can get for it....
 
My local shop has two Model 12s fancy grade on consignment from I believe 1935 or 6, as new and are asking $6000 each for them. If I had a pic of one, you could understand they are not to be used. The gun you have pictured looks in perfect condition and ready to be hunted. Based on its condition I would think it is well worth more than $600-800.
 
Mekaniks pretty well just covered it. Well done on the blue and the stock though. I just purchased a 1936 refinished in much the same condition for $595.

I love the model 12 though.
 
I love these and Shot Trap with many for years (they smoke those clays!)[emoji95] ..I hunt Ducks with 32" Solid Rib Heavy Duck Model...
Sad part value is down now? I seen them go from $400 to about $1200 unless its a Trap or Pigeon or Black Diamond model...
(A pair of 32" Honeys) I will only own 32" models..just a personal thing [emoji1783]

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
