I would be looking for more of a shooter grade that's in good mechanical shape.
 
Bought a 1935 M12 solid rib 26” barrel Modified choke 20 ga (although only .009” constriction…more like an IC). Cost was $350 about 5 years ago. Was a reblue. Put a “modern stock” off a later model 12 with less drop heel and comb. Cut the pistol grip off and converted it to straight grip. Buddy checkered it. One of my favorite shotguns! Love it! Perfect grouse, quail and Hun shotgun in my opinion.
 
A reproduction model 12 asking in the $1500 range and they are not the same gun as a Win pre 64 no matter what anyone says the equivalant factory gun sells for much more. I have a mint factory 20 skeet gun that i have turned down offers of $2000 plus a vg field gun should fetch $800 or more. People are paying $5oo plus for new off shore crap pumps.
 
If I was in the market for a Mod 12 in 20 ga with a VR in very good condition, I'd be budgeting at least $1K. I've seen a nice Miroku Win Mod 12 repro in 20 ga for $1,500 at local gun show recently, which is a bit pricey, but I would never expect either the Win or Browning Mod 12s to sell below $1K if they're in nice shape. I have a Browning Mod 12 in 28 gauge and it's a beauty, definitely worth around $1K compared to what's new these days!

Here is a 28 gauge Model 12 by Miruko local to me.
I have heard of conflicting reports actually opinions on these new gen compared to days gone by.
Me, if I wanted a 20 gauge 1K would be the most I would pay , but that is just me though.
I have a 20 gauge 1100 I am favourable to more so than the old 12 gauge that I can not explain.
Buy the Model 12 if all the ticks in the boxes are filled , you will not be disappointed in your decision.
