I have a nice shooter grade model that I really like a lot. They made a lot of them as they were immensely popular. To museum grade specimens that are worth several thousand dollars. These can be anywhere from old worn out parts guns that are maybe worth a hundred bucks to somebody that wants one. For these and other reasons, value on these guns can vary tremendously. You will often find many of them with a poor bore. Additionally as there was a lot of corrosive ammunition fired out of a lot of these guns. To collectors a mismatched gun like this is not going to command a premium from a collector. However as all of the parts would interchange they would reassemble them after cleaning without matching the numbers of the barrels to the frames. And the shooting galleries that might have dozens of them would often times take them down for cleaning en mass. They are as you likely know, take down guns. These guns were very often utilised by the old time shooting galleries that fell by the wayside long ago. These are very nice little guns that are a lot of fun to shoot. Is there anything good or bad about a Model 1890 manufactured in 1897? I know Model 70s have 1964 as a very special year but what about the Model 1890s?Īnd I have a model 1890 pump in. 22!īut out of curiosity, because I want to know how rare it is, how much would it be worth? I've seen some manufactured on gunbroker in 1907 or 1904 and they go anywhere from $2,000-3,000. This is definitely something I look forward to shooting whenever he comes to visit with it. He told me I better never sell it which I assured him. It seems to be in great condition considering it's over 100 years old - my uncle said he hasn't fired it in awhile but it should still work. After looking it up online, it appears to be made in 1897. so when he showed it to me and I saw it was Winchester Model 1890 with a FIVE digit serial number beginning with 52, I realized holy crap this thing must be old. Then he told me it was a pump-action, so this piqued my curiosity and interest even more. 22, at least I don't have to spend my own money on one now." But he was telling me it was pretty old. Bill N.So when I briefly saw my uncle two weeks ago while on vacation he told me he was going to leave me his. Would love to buy a very nice Henry, but I have a wife. I also have purchased four other 63’s in very fine shape (I’m a sucker and figure I will control the market in excellent 63’s. I have acquired other popular 22’s, including a 61 in its original 1940 box and a 63 with a correct box. 22’s as it brings me back to my rabbit hunting days in the middle of Kansas when I shot many with my 62A which is still in almost perfect condition, even after climbing over many barbed-wire fences. I have a problem of deciding what Winchesters to collect there are so many choices and possibilities. I have corresponded with the President/Owner of Marble Arms who wants to buy this rifle. I thank you for all of your valuable information. Also, with the Kings improvement patent marks on the barrel, do you have any idea what vintage this barrel might be. Tell me, as a historian, how in the world did a person owning an 1873 Winchester consider obtaining a replacement barrel? I don’t doubt it as it is obviously a replacement barrel I just can’t imagine going to the trouble of sending my rifle back to Winchester in the 1890’s to have the barrel replaced. Bob: There is no proof mark on the receiver.
