Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a true "Holy Grail" for the Winchester shotgun devotee: an Ultra-Rare Pre-War 1936 Winchester Model 12 in 28 Gauge. Produced during the height of the Great Depression, the 28-gauge variant is widely considered one of the rarest and most coveted iterations of the "Perfect Repeater" ever manufactured. This specimen represents a singular opportunity to acquire a legendary small-bore Model 12 with elite custom appointments.
This magnificent shotgun features a 28-inch barrel with a chamber marked 2 7/8" and a choke marked Modified. It has been masterfully upgraded to its current "High Grade" configuration, featuring a premium Simmons Ventilated Rib for a superior sight plane. The firearm is perfectly appointed with custom deluxe high-grade American walnut furniture, showcasing breathtaking figure and vibrant grain contrast. The straight-comb stock and elongated forearm feature crisp, sharp checkering and provide a comfortable 14 1/8-inch length of pull (LOP).
The condition of this investment-grade treasure is very fine, retaining nearly all of its deep factory-style blued finish with only minimal evidence of handling or use. The action is flawlessly smooth, and the bore is mirror-bright. This 1936 Model 12 stands as a premier "blue-chip" asset, offering the ultimate combination of small-bore rarity and high-grade aesthetic appeal. It is a mandatory addition for any world-class Winchester collection.
