I have my great grandfathers Win. .32-40 Lever action that he got in trade for drilling a well in 1891. The gun is in perfect shape because he only hunted with it once and it has set in a cabinet since. The original box of shells he got with the gun are still there (half of them). This rigle has the long hex barrel. Is there anybody out there that would have any idea to the guns worth, dollar wise?
Well, of course, old Winchesters like that bring a good price, and again, of course, condition is the determining factor. As long as the metal and wood finish is pretty much there, and original, (not refinished), and there's no rust on the outside or in the bore, it is worth quite a little.
You should take it to a Winchester expert and have it appraised.
