I own both of these Guns. My father was a wholesaler for Winchester in the 50's 60's and 70's. He owned 3 model 12s but bought others.

The Model 12 was purchased by him from a retailer in 1965. It is field grade full choke 16 ga. and has never been assembled or fired. Any idea on its value?

The Model 42 was bought with a sawed off barrel in 1963. He sent it back to Winchester for restoration and it came back as a new field grade gun. It is still in the box from Winchester and has not been fired since being refurbished. Any idea on value?

Thanks.

I'd suggest going to gunauction.com or gunsamerica or one of the other gunsale sites and compare values. The 42 carries a much greater value lately.

Any relation to the M Hamton of nsca lore?

No relative that I know of but, who knows.

Looking at auctions is the best way to find real world info. I just looked into a six year old Blue Book and the model 12 - standard pump no extras - at 100% was $550. The model 42 was $1200.
