As the subject line says: Winchester model 1892 32.30 serial# 437533. This rifle is in fantastic condition for being 102 years old. There is a small amount of rust spots(and I do mean very little). The stock still has it's original finish with normal wear(at least to me). No damage what so ever. I have fired aprrox. 25 rounds through it since I inherited it from my father when he passed away in 2006. he last time I fired it was in October 2006. Otherwise its been cleaned, oiled and stored in a hardshell rifle carrier in a cool dry place.
The patina is awesome!!
If anyone has a vague idea what it could be worth, please reply. I can supply pictures if you like. Although, I feel pictures do not do justice to this rifle.
My father would never tell me where(he lived in central Ohio) and how much he purchased it for, but he knew it was worth way more than what he paid for it.
I recently visited a Cabelas Store in my area and seen a similar rifle in way worse condition that blew me away in its price.
I also have other firearms in my collection(also from my father) that vary in condition. For the most part, I know they of commercial variety with only 2 other being an exception(an Ithaca Firearms double barrel side by side 16ga w/a broken stock and a JC Higgins 12ga pump).
Once again, if anyone has any vague ideas, let me know.
Thank you to everyone!!
