Winchester Pump Info Needed

[TBeaver]

I am trying to help a family member with the guns they have inherited. I would imagine these are Field Grade Guns as they appear to be very plain without any engravings. I will list the information taken off each gun below. If you have a way of dating these or any ideas of values I would be grateful.
Thank you,
Tom

Condition is the biggie when it comes to shotguns like these. So are options, good wood, ribs, etc.

Field grade 12s is so-so shape here start around $350 and go up to $1K.

The last Model 42 field I saw was purchased in near new condtion for $1300 IIRC.

But, these are family guns. I hope they will not be sold to strangers.

For the record, these are some of the best pumpguns ever made.

As mentioned , the value changes with condition and other features - the 20 ga gun will bring more than the 12 ga. and the Model 42 will bring the most money assuming grades and conditions are about equal.
