This early-production Model 1912 showcases the original "Model 1912" rollmark and the "NICKEL STEEL" barrel stamp, both desirable identifiers for collectors of early Winchesters. It is a takedown variant with the correct adjusting sleeve, allowing the barrel and magazine assembly to be removed from the receiver group for transport and maintenance.
The 30-inch plain (non-ribbed) Nickel Steel barrel is set up with a Modified choke and a single front bead sight, a classic configuration for versatile field use of the period. The tubular magazine is the standard-length type, providing a 4+1 capacity.
Construction is blued steel paired with walnut furniture, including a straight-comb, pistol-grip stock and the corncob-style grooved forend that defines early Model 12 aesthetics and handling. An aftermarket slip-on rubber recoil pad is installed. Length of pull measures 14.25 inches.
This hammerless, pump-action 12 gauge comes from the 1910s era and was made in the United States. Matching serial numbers on the receiver and barrel extension confirm factory pairing of its major components.
