    Very little, as it has obviously been reblued by an amateur gunsmith who undoubtedly buffed and polished the crap out of it too[xx(][V]

    Hello jimmy, welcome to the forum. Most of the 'hot blue solutions" on the market will turn a Md 12 "copper" or plum color. that's how Bert knows it's been reblued.

    As to value it has been significantly reduced, however since Md 12's (Nickel Steel versions) came in plainbarrel field guns, to Black Diamond Trap guns, there is no way to determine what you have from your brief description. a plain barrel field gun about $150. Maybe $200 if it has a 26in Cyl choke. Anything else, will be worth more.

    Regards Dave
