A fine and very rare original M12 20 ga. Trap Grade, so marked, with solid rib and some other factory 'nickings' sold over the weekend at the Vintage Gunners Cup.

Wow tough to find!!! The 7th gun from the right with lighter wood is a 16 gauge 28" solid rib marked "Standard Trap" or "Model 12 Trap" (can't remember exact writing) on the magazine tube extension with the ultra rare "Imp. mod" stamped choke. Its condition is fair with refinished correct wood. I have 2 other small gauge trap marked model 12's in storage, a 20 ga 30" and another 16 ga in 28". My gun addiction started with model 12's and 42's. I always found myself selling the fine examples and keeping the guns with a few issues.

A commonly found gun collecting strategy. Does anyone have an explanation? Another common collecting strategy is "Buying high and selling low".

There is a fine line between a diamond in the rough and a money pit. Finding where the line is can take a lifetime.
I have a 16 gauge Model 12 that is a diamond in the rough for sure. One of these days, I am going to get a 12 gauge and a 20 gauge. |

I believe I got this for my 12th birthday. It's a Super Field Grade, but the box label calls it a Super Grade. I always liked the wood on it.
