Larry, I agree with you on the minimal increase in value of a low grade, field used (only if that term translates to 'worn and in need of restoration').
Ray, the 1-frame twelve, like the 0-frame sixteen, was probably intended to be a game gun, generally for upland shooting as they are generally lighter in weight. There were a lot of them produced but when the 1 1/2-frame was introduced the 1-frame was, for all intents and purposes, pretty much dropped. The 1-frame twelve is desirable and certainly the higher grades like yours.... more desirable still.
