Hi all,
I would greatly appreciate any help with this gun you are able to provide. It is a pre-64 1894 Winchester 30 WCF. My boss asked me to try and sell it for him as he has kids AND a wife that is scared of firearms. He inherited it after his dad passed and was told it was a gift to someone in his distant family from the Queen of England??? It has been stored in a glass-front presentation box. No provenance to support, but interesting none the less. It is in pretty good shape with a couple of rust spots on top right side of receiver and forearm band. It has a side mount scope that reads -JW Sidle Phila PA- 2106. It has an ivory front site bead and serial 918xx. Web serial search says 1897 - Considering it's age and condition vs. other similar 94's I am guessing it is worth more than the $450 offered from the local gun shop. I would appreciate any help/value estimates/info I can get to sell it for a fair price and help out my boss. Thank you very much in advance!
