Impatient fockers! Here ya go.

While we're at it...

I also have this Model 12 that I'm curious about. Thanx

That doesn't look like the original stock so figure a few hundred, up to maybe $700 for the Winny... very beautiful rifle by the way.

The model 12 is worth about $200.

While you're at it, how about pics of the wife?

[lasereye]

Going by the stocks and patina of these ,I'd say $100 for both and I'll take it.

J/k , nice pieces.

Obviously, not a very serious forum. Will look elsewhere.

On the contrary... the fact is, those rifles simply aren't going to fund your retirement. Both have issues with non-original stocks. Even in mint condition, never been fired, the model 12 would only bring about $800 to $1000 to a collector, and the Winchester might scape $2,000 (max)... both weapons are worn out and not original, which is how value is placed.
