I bought mine at the Quantico VA USMC PX in 1964-- light 12 with gold plated trigger, 28" mod ventilated rib barrel $135.00 Had Briley install the 17-4 ph stainless tubes for steel shot back in 1990- ugly as homemade poop, but other than my "pet" Model 12's- one hellofa reliable and deadly on live bird target shotguns- Not For Sale either- used it for layout shooting many years ago- trickiest of all the waterfowling shots- divers coming in low at Mach 4 plus in a squall-eaaier to shoot when reclining in a Nov. snowsquall in a layout boat that shucking a pump-IMO damn fine shotgun, a real workhorse-like a Parker Trojan..
