Model 12

[player_smoove]

I have a remington 22 but not for sure what the gun is. it looks like a model 12 but i can't find one that looks like it. it is a stainless steel like barrel and receiver but has not model number. the sn is 155574 with the rw above it. does anyone have any helpful information? thanks

There are some nickle plated models that they did run . It may also be a refinish job. A photo would be very helpful. If easier send a photo to remington600@att.net. Even I have not been able to figure out how to post a photo on the forum yet. But but if it is a 12 your serial number would put it in the year of 1912.

is there any websites that show this type of gun. the model 12 in a nickel finish? i am wondering what the value of this piece is

[remington600]

The value is really going to be condition. The nickled ones seemed to be used alot in gallery shooting so normally they seen a lot of abuse. I would just look on gunbroker at other model 12s that ARE selling, and not the asking price. The asking price is way off most of the time.

Just scroll down past this window you type in and there's another section labeled upload attachment.
Filename [ ] click the browse, find and select it on you computer
then right below click add the file. Done.

That second (like the first) preview/submit goes for the text and photo(s) together.

Here are some pics of the gun referred to above.







The butt plate is nickel as well!!

No records have been found that would document whether a rifle left the factory with a full or 1/2 nickel finish. Most of the nickeled guns will show some wear or discolorization. Check to see if the lettering is crisp under the finish; also the sharp edges on the barrel.

the writting on the top of the barrel is very clean/crisp that has the dates.
The "Remington Trademark" shows wear but no bad.

Finish definetly shows wear and has a chip missing beside the ejection area. If it is an after market finish it was definetly done years ago.

The pictures here are not the best, but it really looks refinish. The edges on the octagon barrel look pretty rounded. Compared to the condition of the stock the nickle looks very clean and shiny.

any idea what it may be worth... rough estimate......

[John Gyde]

We usually don't try to give values on this site. Too many variables. The Blue Book of Gun Values will give you a range depending on condition. In any case, the M/12s are very nice rifles, but are not rare.

[Lance Johnson]

Am wanting to know what affect the nickel finish will have on its value in your all opinions? The gun looks awesome and is a very unique piece.

[remington600]

A documented factory nickle model 12 would be worth a premium to me. A refinished nickled model 12 would have to be a steal for me to consider spending the money. A worn out rusty model 12 with a unique factory option will always be more appealing to a collecter then a refinished one.

I agree with "600". The important thing here is if the finish is original. There's just no way to tell from photos. It isn't that easy at times even when examining the gun. In either case, you won't have enough to guarantee a satisfying retirement. The M/12s are my favorite, but there are a bunch of them out there.
