    Trench Gun for Sale on Sturmgewehr.com

    OK guys, your thoughts on this one: WTS USGI Win Model 12 Trench Shotgun EXC $3390 Doesn't look "parked" like the arsenal redos I've seen. I'm not looking to buy it, just trying to increase my knowledge on what to look for. Thanks!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    The question is whether it's one of the late made Model 12 trench guns that were factory parkerized. Need to know the serial number.

    But, it still has an RRAD rebuild or inspection mark on the stock, and I don't see the original GHD and Ord stock marks. So it will never be original.

    Without the serial number it is really difficult to tell, and the pictures don't really give you a good view of the shotgun itself. Is it an original green gun with just the RRAD rebuild stamp, is it a blued gun that has been parked, is it a badly worn blued gun with a parked adaptor and guard?? This is one instance where the pictures don't speak a thousand words.

    More info is needed to make an accurate judgement, and an educated buying decision.
