[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4217617, member: 27098"] If I'm not mistaken the Model 12 was at one time the gold standard in pump action shotguns, as well as the WW I trench gun. Think many get caught up in the legendary status. Saw my first one 30 years ago and wanted one. Never found one who's wear and price point matched what I was willing to pay for an antique. All I know is there are many good modern shotguns on the market at a lower price point. If I saw one in a pawn shop that I wanted I would offer a lower price, and if they won't budge I'd walk away. I do think many are over priced. I have seen very few that have 90% bluing left, the ones that are out there have seen a lot of use. [/QUOTE]
