Your gun was built in 1927. It is a standard field gun. As per your info, it is also the most common configuration ( 12ga. 30"bbls.). In rare 100% condition it's value would be approx. 2-3000. For more info, you'll need a hands on appraisal. What you call mint and what a buyer (collector) calls mint can vary considerably. Most 12 ga. Sterlingworths sell in the600-1000 dollar range. The reason being that they were entry level guns and most were well used, so a mint condition example would be fairly scarce.
Recoil is most noticed when I miss
