This morning, I went to Grants, New Mexico to pick up my new (to me) Winchester Model 1912 12 gauge shotgun with a 30" barrel.
While at the gun shop to transfer ownership, I looked online for the year of manufacture. By its serial number, the shotgun was made in 1919, 105 years ago.

The bluing is mostly worn off, but it is otherwise in good condition. What would one expect for a shotgun over 100 years old? I will try it out either this coming Thursday or Friday.
By the way, for New Mexico residents, the 7-day waiting period for gun purchases goes into effect on May 15. If one wants to buy a gun and avoid the waiting period, now is the time to do so.
I picked up the below card at the gun store:
Afterwards, I went to Rosie's Mexican food in Grants for a chile relleno plate lunch:
