Thanks for the info guys. I may have got it for a bit less than $300. I bought this along with a Colt Frontier Scout in 22LR with a F suffix serial number which should make it an early 60's pistol if I looked it up correctly.The guy wanted $350 for the Colt and $300 for the Mod 12. I got both for $550. I like the Mod 12 so much I dumped a Beretta Tomcat today to keep the 12.
