Info on my winchester model 1912 [pretty low serial number]

I have a model 1912 that I just got from a brother in law on the barrel it says winchester model 1912 nickel/steel 12 ga full and has a 5 digit serial number 755XX the gun has a very rich dark coloring on all the wood. Overall it's in great shape, the reciever has the same serial number on it as well, on the barrel it has a P3 or F3 mark on it.

I would appreciate any info that I could get!!!


Thanks

hello,,your md 12 was made in 1938 and currently the model 12s are slow movers and the prices have dropped in the past 5-10 years because of the amount of them out on the market these days ,,for a standard grade model 12 i see them at shows and online in the 350 about good -around 500 in excellent condition ,,but fancier grades and models will bring more in value and collectors look for rare grades and models over the standard grade versions ,,but condition means $$$ and they have to have original finishes on metal and wood to open a collectors eyes and get a second look from them..

thanks alot, for some reason when I checked the serial number it came back with made in 1914, oh well. I do thank you for your response.


Have a great day

hello lol..lol..i double checked it and you were right 1914 ,,i added a digit ,,lol hey i'm human and i answer so many post sometime the numbers run together..lol..sorry being that early it might bring another 100 bucks to the totals and mebey even a little more to md 12 collectors being an early gun if all original,, but it just seems the md12's just aren't bringing the prices they did 10 yrs ago,,sorry again for the screw up,,i'm fireing myself,,lol..
