Value of browning model 12?

[drslav]

I just aquired a browning copy of that famous mod 12 takedown.. Made in Japan it's a 20 ga 2 3/4 modified fixed choke. Gun looks new and its a keeper. Does anyone know the approximate value of this gun? I will be looking for a manufacturing date as well since i can't find it on browning site. I know it's a Grade 1. Serial 0823_ PN 832 ( 1989?)
Appreciate all and any info. Thank you.

1989 is the correct date .generaly in excellent condition you will see them list for $ 1000 +/- .

I have seen the listed for 800 to a 1000$ but thy never sold for that .so hard to tell what thy will really bring ,,Dutch

Isnt there a 28 gauge take down on the EE right now?
$900 +/- a few dollars...
I recall seeing them locally new for about $925 field grade.
Your call on what it is worth.

Nowhere near $1000. More like $600 is fair. I have priced quite a few, was shopping for one but eventually bought something else.

Yep. I agree. 850/1000 NIB, 600/650 after being fired. I sold two used in 28ga which normally bring more money and they were in the 600 range

$550-650 fired box or no box new in the box maybe $800 you can buy a nice field grade model 12 for $;50 - &700 depending on cosmetic condition and u have the real deal not s copy they don't feel quite like a original . They are nice if u are looking for something with nice cosmetics . a original vent or solid rib we'll run u $800 - $1.500 depending on condition

They are generally worth about $400 less than you see them advertised in the EE for.

In these parts, the Browning M12 Gr. 1 in 20 or 28 probably averages $ 750 on the half dozen or so I've seen sold.
The Browning M42 Gr. 1 in 410 averages around a $1000 and are relatively scarce.
Grade 5's ... up the ante by $350-500 on each.
