The original field coil was intended for somewhat less than 6v so the total resistance now should be somewhat more than double the original.
The amps drawn will be more than double what need be on 12v; a waste of current and power but many tolerate. The coils seem to survive more than the original current.
A good little exercise in Ohms law.
6 ohms is the field resistance of the common 1950s/60s Lucas 12v generator.
