Winchester model 1912 question

[Tim E.]

Hi All. First time post. Hope I am doing this correctly. Can anyone help me with finding the manufacture date of my Model 1912 with s/n 19212? Thanks.

If you haven't missed a decimal place somewhere, `looks like second year of production:

s/n 19212 made in 1913. There were 27112 made that year.

3 digit was 1912 first year....only 20ga listed in the catalog the first 2 years but there were at least few 16s made and probably a couple 12ga...
