Family shotgun holds lasting, fond memories

When my Daddy died in 1990, my brother Billy inherited Dad’s old Model 12 Winchester pump 12 gauge shotgun. I got Daddy’s Remington 1100.

The Winchester model 12 was the gun Daddy carried on squirrel and duck hunts during my childhood and teenage years. The Model 12 Winchester pump is considered by many to be the best pump shotgun ever made.

According to a serial number, the shotgun was made in 1932. Daddy bought it from a duck hunter before I was born in 1941. It was well used when he purchased it from the duck hunter.
