Um...

They shoot two shots.

One Internet source says:

67,000 Twelvette Double Auto's were made sometime between 1952-71. Value at 98% is $700 (in the u.S.) for the vent rib model.

I'd love to have one for skeet.

I sold a few in very good condition here on CGN in the $450-$500 range.. nice little guns.

any ideas how disasemble,for cleaning?its been sitting for 25 yrs,but still in mint shape.just grubby.action works great.

I have a couple. Good little guns, but no real value unless they are "coloured" the green and blue i believe are the rarest. Should be worth between 200-500 for good condition shooters. I shot my best skeet with one the day I got it. What else do you want to know. They were designed by Val Browning not John.... Not a great seller, but a must have for someone that is a browning fan.

Unless your schooled in the DA guns it is better left alone. Just pull the wood and soak it in solvents, rinse and repeat. Blow it out with compressed air and lightly lube with gun oil.

Jeff has the correct advice they can be a little difficult if you have no experience with them .
