Winchester Model 12- 12 gauge 30" full solid field gun--as the late Don Ernesto said so well;"A gun is to shoot" and mine,except for the post 1935 pistol grip is basically the same as his M12-- his a 1928 Perch Bellied smaller grip- 30" Full field grade with solid rib- He won a ton of live Columbaire and Box pigeons big money shoots with it in Europe and Cuba- when he sold it after the 1953 ill-fated African Safari, claiming that he had "worn it out" is a mystery to me- You can't wear out a Model 12- I have 7- and shoot them year round, but this is my favorite-and always will be!!
