Winchester Model 12 Question

[Sask Bearman]

Hello,
I have a Winchester Model 12 made in 1927. This is a 12 gauge in average condition and functions as it should. This shotgun has a 32" barrel, plain barrel, no solid or vent rib. I am doing some research and I think it would have been the model that Winchester marketed as the Heavy Duck Gun.

If there are any Model 12 folks out there and can enlighten me it would be appreciated and I am also wondering what the value would be?

Thank you in advance!

Start at $300? Enthusiasts of the Model 12 would say double that.

If it is a heavy duck it would be in 3", I know the two I have seen are and so is mine.
I haven't looked at mine for a bit but I believe it is stamped Heavy Duck as well

And it should be heavy no pun intended the buttstocks have a lead weight in them. also most had a solid red recoil pad with the Winchester logo. Mine is 32 inch with a solid rib gun is in great shape I think I paid $600 or $700 for it years ago.

Thanks folks. I am going to assume mine is a standard model 12 with a 32 inch barrel and 2.75" chambers now.
