708875 is not a valid serial number for an 1873 Winchester. Serial 70875 was manufactured in 1881. Condition will matter significantly to determine the value. Have the gun appraised by an advanced Winchester collector because it may be quite valuable
That is probably 22 WCF (Winchester Center Fire) which is an obsolete cartridge. If this is a single shot lever action rifle, it would be the Model 1885 and if it is a repeating rifle, the Model 1873. Any other Winchester model chambered for this round would be unusual. Both of these models were available in several configurations and the value can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, so a hands-on evaluation would be necessary. Assuming it is one of these, the Model 1873 with your serial would have been manufactured in 1881 and the Model 1885 in 1898, which makes either an antique according to the GCA of 1968 and BATF regulations.
made 1881
Winchester 1873 s/n 66557 was manufactured in 1881. The condition and verification should be done by an expert. I understand that the Cody Museum can provide a letter as to the factory shipped configuration of the rifle and, as there were many factory options available on that rifle, a professional apprasial should be considered. Depending on condition and options, the rifle can run to $9500 and the carbine to $12000.
