The collector value can only be assessed by a visual inspection & evaluation. Old Winchesters are very much like old classic automobiles... the graded condition and factory originality are the key factors in determining what they are truly worth. Bert H.
Yes.
depending on what year the model 12 you have and the shape it is in. The model 12 heavy duck guns can go from $1200.00 to $300.00
1940, give or take a year. Value depends on what configuration (field, skeet, trap, heavy duck, solid rib, vent rib, etc), originality (all matching, no aftermarket choke device, pad or rib) and actual condition.

Yes.The winchester model 23 shotgun began production in the year 1978.It was the first Winchester shotgun to have interchangable chokes,along with fixed choke barrels.The model 23XTR was offered in Grade I,pigeon grade,pigeon grade lightweight,pegion grade ducks unlimited,golden quail series,light duck,heavy duck,custom 2 barrel set,grande canadian,and the model 23 custom,and classic series.I believe that these shotguns were discontinued in the year 1987.
The value of a 1926 Belgium Browning A-5 12 gauge with custom stock is actually dependent upon a number of things. Most important would be the condition of the firearm.
You could, just get "light" loads for this gun. Winchester feather loads are good.
This is a gun that has a lot of variations. Unless it is a Pigeon Grade with extensive engraving in Excellent condition, it would not be valueable enough to require any special endorsement on your homeowner's insurance policy. If it is a standard Field Grade or a Heavy Duck Gun in NRA Very Good condition, it should retail for $425 +/-. A Skeet or Trap Grade gun would be about $550-$650 and a Pigeon Grade around $1100. Engraving would increase these values as would a milled rib or special ventilated rib. And of course any replaced parts or modifications, such as a non-original recoil pad will reduce the value. (The Heavy Duck Gun came with a Winchester recoil pad, others did not.)
the gun that is more worth your money is a 12 gauge because you can go deer, turkey, pheasant and duck hunting and trap shooting without having to worry about getting to far because with a 20 guage duck hunting you would pretty much be able to grab the duck by the time it is close enough to shoot
Yes.
1945-50. In excellent condition its worth $150-$170. If its a duck hunter one with engraving add $50.
