			It is a Y series from late 73, and my wife's grandfather had it converted to a release trigger for shooting trap.  She is interested in getting it into a usable condition again, but is not comfortable with the release trigger.  So, I guess I would prefer the redesigned group with the proper disconnect to bring it up to a safe level for her and anyone else who may try it out. 
I had not heard of that 'issue' with Model 12s, but I haven't looked up much outside of the serial number to get a date range and rough value. 
Thanks for the heads-up!
