Winchester model 12 32"

I have the chance to purchase a model 12 12gauge made in 1914 with a 32" barrel. I was wondering if the 32" barrel is a rarity and also does the early manufacture date, which I think is the first year for a 12 guage, make it any more desirable or worth more?

A 32-inch barrel on a well worn gun adds precious little to the collector value, and 1914 is not a "first" year gun. Unless the serial number is 3-digits (or less), there will be no premium.
What do you mean?
What duckhunter is asking, is does the gun lock-up, fire, and release the slide properly.
