A friend asked me to find out years of manufacture of a couple of Winchesters. The model 94 was easy as I had a magazine that listed all the serial #,s and years they were made. The 12 guage model 12 takedown was a different story. The library had a book on Winchester,s , but it was a very early edition and they didn't consider the Model 12 as collectable at that time. So maybe you can help, the Model 12,s serial # is 223xxx , would like the year it was made and maybe a ballpark value for a good shooter in good to fair condition. Thank you, BEARMAN.
