That engraved Mdl 12 is a "trap build-up"...literally 250000+ of them out there. Nice gun, but not a "trap model", and WAY over priced IMO. Nice pretty gun, but the money they're asking is almost Perazzi money (one of the best higher end trap shotguns out there).

Mdl 12's are a solid gun, and rather nostalgic too. Their triggers are rather achaic for most shooting sports (too much lock time). Plus most were 30", full choked guns. If you want to bird hunt with them, then you're handicaping youself at the start. Even if you have one "worked over" with a decent trigger and choke job, you've lowered the market price because it's not original anymore. There has been so many Mdl 12's built that it's very difficult to find one that someone hasn't monkeyed with. If you find a 12ga Pigeon Grade for sale, chances are it's really not a Pigein Grade at all.

If you like them, then get one...but they really won't appreciate much more IMO. Now 28A's and Mdl 42's are different. But there's lots of build-ups and knock off's out there of these versions too.
