Winchester model 12 skeet grade? engraved

Hi I'm brand spankin new here, My reason for joining was to hopefully gain a little information as to what exactly I have. I know its a model 12 made in about 1953 no choke designation but I believe this is a factory Cutts comp. But what I dont know is what grade it is. Ive posted some pictures and I hope they are good enought for you guys to judge. I can get more if needed. Thanks to all that have taken the time to read this.

Greetings bijj62, and welcome aboard

You're most likely correct about the jug being factory installed because of the lack of a choke marking on the barrel. I'm no expert, but I doubt it's a Skeet model because the barrel is without a rib (solid or vented).

Here's a link you may find helpful in identifying your gun.

Thanks for the reply Zippy. I've checked out that website but its not working for me. I'll try again later. When measuring the barrel on this gun do I include the Cutts? It is approximately 22" to where the Cutts begins and 26" to the tip of the Cutts (not including the choke). Ive sent pictures to a known Winchester engraver and was informed this probably wasn't a factory engraved gun. I'm curious as to what possible (ballpark) value this gun has. Thanks again
