Model 12 Help

I was hoping that one of you fine folks could help me date a Winchester Model 12 Shotgun. I know that it was given to my father-in-law in the early sixties. Any links or information on serial numbers manufacturing dates or things to look for would be a great help.

This is just to satisfy my curiosity. I am not looking for the value just the history.

THANKS!!

Winchester 12 dating

Most of these guns won't have a date stamped on them and you'll need to find some Winchester collector or dealer (at a gun show?) with a book of serial number references by year that can tell you when it was made. Good gun!
