Old levers - value?
What could be the realistic value of the rifles depicted? I have been asked by a friend, and he will soon add me info about calibers and serial numbers.

Re: Old levers - value?
One on the right appears to be an 1873 musket configuration, the one next left is ? (hard to tell, i'm not a big Winchester guy) the one next to that is a Winchester 1895. The shotgun....could be a Browning Auto-5 or Remington Model 11 (same thing essentially), hard to tell from the angle.
If they're originals, not replicas, and in good condition the '95 and the '73 in that configuration (i've only ever seen one real non-post-1970s replica) should be worth quite a bit, but that's not my field of expertise.
Would need a closer look at the other model, can't say for sure what it is.

L/R - Winchester autoloading rifle, possibly a Model 1910; Winchester Model 1895 musket; Marlin - looks big enough to be original Model 1895; Winchester Model 1873 Musket. Looks like a fair piece of change there.

Re: Old levers - value?
Those muskets are worth quite a bit if they are the real deal . (enough that i couldnt even begin to give an educated guess) If the 1895 musket is in 7.62 x 54R, it might not have as much value as one in another calibre. But then again, condition is worth a lot of consideration too

Better photos and details needed to answer the question.

Re: Old levers - value?
I would certainly not disagree with that -the details are indeed scarce. But I would be thankful for just some hint about the values.Hobie wrote:Better photos and details needed to answer the question.
However, I've got some more info:
The Winchester half auto is a 401 Win, serial #198XX
The Winchester 1895 is a russian army gun in 7.62 Russian (7.62x53R in european nomenclature), serial #3453XX
The Marlin is a 1885 in .45-90, serial #3158XX.
The Winchester 1871 is a .44-40, serial # not mentioned.

Re: Old levers - value?
Yes, you're right: there is a typo. Or some other mistake. What I got is a telephone call with a friend, the photo of the guns and copies of the gun permits. The third gun on the photo is obviously a Marlin, but the permit says "Winchester 1885, 45-90" - not even a levergun. Either has the owner sent a copy of the wrong permit, or is the permit wrongly filled - any lever here in Sweden is considered a "Winchester". It can be a Marlin 1895 in .45-90. I have mailed my friend about this.airedaleman wrote:Am I good or what? 1885's a typo...Old Shatterhand wrote: The Marlin is a 1885 in .45-90, serial #3158XX.

I must apologize for asking with these disturbing mistakes in the info. Hopely I will be able to correct the mistakes tomorrow,

Re: Old levers - value?
Ol SH,
Entschultige mir, bitte. I wasn't casting aspersions on your information, just figured that the 8 and 9 are close together.
That spells "typo" the way I handle a keyboard.
Over here, those rifles would bring some serious money. Years ago I owned a Marlin Model 1895 takedown rifle, caliber 38-56, with a 32-inch octagon barrel. I bought it by mail (it was legal back then) from a man in Selma, Alabama for the magnificent sum of $65.00! I daresay that that gun would bring around $3,000.00 now. The Model 1895 was made in relatively small numbers and is avidly sought by Marlin collectors here.
