Winchester Model 12 Trap

I saw a Winchester Model 12 Trap model at the gunshop today that caught my eye. It was made in 42 and is in pretty good condition with very nice wood. It also has an engraving scene on the reciever (ducks on one side and dogs flushing birds on the other)that is very similiar to the pigeon grade but i was told that it was not factory done. The choke has also been opened to modified. They are asking 650. I would like to purchase something that will hold its value if I decide to sell it. Does this sound like a good deal or is it not worth it because of all of the "aftermarket" modifications? Any input or info would be appreciated.
thanks

I've never seen anything like this before, beautiful wood has palm swell and very nicely contoured. Only problem I can see is that the barrel and receiver serial numbers do not match. I'd say the gun is in about 98-99% overall. I'll get some photos on here, just thought I'd post and see if anyone had any idea. I don't see many with Winchester vent ribs either. Receiver serial number 11502xx 30" full chocke barrel.
Also is there a "trap" version of the model 12 or were these just customized to be trap guns?

No marking as to being "Trap Model"
