Manufactured in 1927, this Winchester Model 12 Shotgun has a very scarce 32 inch solid rib stainless steel barrel. The barrel has a single steel bead sight, choke is marked "FULL" and a 2 3/4 inch chamber. The barrel is marked "-STAINLESS STEEL- [three line Winchester trademark] - MODEL 12-12 GA. FULL" on the left side and the two line address/patent dates marking on the right side. Single factory proofmark on the barrel and receiver. Nicely figured 18 groove round forearm and pistol grip stock with Winchester hard rubber buttplate. Length of pull is 13 3/4 inches. These stainless steel barrels were Japanned and were only available for a short time, all Winchesters with these barrels are very rare and valuable collectors items.

Fine as partially refinished (receiver). The barrel has an attractive stainless steel gray appearance. The magazine, action and receiver ring retain 80% of the original blue finish with the balance between a smooth brown and gray patina. There is some scattered minor pitting (mostly on the receiver). The revarnished wood is fine with a hairline crack on the forearm and a filled sling stud hole in the buttstock, along with some minor dings and scratches. The forearm retains original finish blended with a hand worn patina.
