My mothers husband who is 84 years old has a Winchester model 12 20 gauge pump gun that belonged to his father.He wants to sell it but I have no idea what to tell him to ask for it. Serial # 780754 full choke 2 3/4 chamber, I believe 28 inch barrel and patent dates 1896,1898,1910,1913. I would describe it as no better than good condition, fully functional,action is tight, zero pitting,never refinished, bluing faded, especially on the receiver,some scratches on the stock.
Any help appreciated,
Thank you!

A 20 ga. is more desirable, and a decent field grade with no rib in fair shape is worth $650ish +/- IMO.
That serial # should place its DOM in the late 30's.
He said he thought his dad bought it in the 1940" so that makes sence

Sorry to be ignorant,I'm an old car nut. What is a rib and how do you know if it is a field grade? The stock is smooth with no checkering, not a pistol grip and the forearm slide is round with circular grooves around it.
Thanks

October 1937 to be a bit more precise.

Is there a site where you can list guns for for sale? A good reputable site?
