Pachmayr Model 12 Upgrade

[nid-28]

Ok, here’s my opinion based on what I see in the pictures. The gun was made in 1961. It looks like an original two pin, ventilated rib, but Simmons would also add the duck bill for an extra fee when installing their aftermarket vent rib. Does the ribs say Simmons on the left side? I would’ve expected the barrel to be 26 inches or 30 inches. The fact that it is 28 inches and full choke suggest that it might have been a field gun that was upgraded and not a factory trap or skeet gun. The wood is very nice and obviously it’s aftermarket that is not Winchester wood. The engraving is good, but not great. Without the gun in hands to examine it thoroughly and with the pictures that have been offered, I would value the gun at retail in the vicinity of $4000. that being said, in today’s market 12 gauge Guns do not move readily, and I would not consider this gun an investment grade gun that will increase in value. If, the rib does say Simmons, I would decrease my evaluation by $750 or so. This is just one man’s opinion and others will surely disagree with me, but that is as good as I can do what has been presented. I hope this helps!.
