Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Designed by Thomas Crossley Johnson and introduced in 1912, the Winchester Model 1912 (later designated simply as the Model 12) quickly earned its title as "The Perfect Repeater." Marking a massive leap forward over exposed-hammer pump shotguns like the Model 1897, the Model 1912 featured a streamlined internal hammer, an enclosed forged receiver, a smooth action, and a quick-takedown frame assembly. Initially introduced exclusively in 20 gauge before 12 and 16 gauge options followed, early Model 1912s constructed w/ Winchester's tough Nickel Steel barrels represent the purest form of Crossley Johnson's masterwork, gaining immense popularity among upland bird hunters and firearm collectors alike.
This specific example is an exceptionally early second-year production Winchester Model 1912 manufactured in 1913, bearing matching serial numbers 28495 on both the receiver frame and barrel extension. Chambered in the sweet-swinging 20 Gauge (2-1/2" chamber), it features a 25-inch plain Nickel Steel barrel constricted to a Full choke, brass front sight bead, grooved wooden slide handle, smooth walnut pistol grip buttstock, and factory hard rubber Winchester buttplate. Clear factory markings include "NICKEL STEEL - WINCHESTER - MOD.1912 - 20 GA. FULL" on the barrel flank. Preserved in authentic original condition w/ smooth, honest blued finish transitioning to a handsome natural patina, solid walnut wood, crisp mechanical takedown action, and a bright, functional bore, this 1913 Model 1912 is an extraordinary antique-era specimen for any premier Winchester collection.
