Winchester shotgun model 1912

Question
Hi Paul,

First let me say that my mother is from Hartford and I still have many family members who live there. Beautiful town. I live in Portland, Oregon, also beautiful. I just inherited an old Winchester shotgun model 1912 that was manufactured in 1914, serial number 80105. I would like to know what it is worth and any history. It's in great condition for its age. Any help would be great!
