There were model 1887 lever action shotguns made by Winchester ( I have a 12 ga). These are worth in the range of $1200 to $5000 depending on condition. I am not aware of any Model 1886 Winchesters in a shotgun.
There was/is no such thing as a 1940's vintage Winchester lever-action .410. Winchester did make a slide-action (pump) .410 shotgun called the Model 42 during the 1940s.
A Winchester model 1887 lever action shotgun is worth between 675-1.875 dollars for a shotgun with between 10%-60% of its original finish remaining,and a good bore.
Depends on the condition. Give you an idea 0-1500.
If it's 100 %, value is around $160.00. mfg. 1963-78.
With the serial number that you provided,your Winchester model 1901 lever action shotgun was 1 of only 307 made during the year 1915.The model 1901 lever action shotgun will bring between 550-2,200 dollars for a shotgun having between 10%-70% of its original finish remaining,and a half way decent bore.There were only 13,500 manufactured between the years 1901-1920.
what i did to get an idea on what it "could" be worth, is to look up online stores that have them, and compared mine to them. they have prices listed so i guesstimated mine.
Proofhouse.com has a store brand chart. When you find out who made it a value can be estimated.
1942 Winchester lever action 410 is a common gun. For this reason, it does not have a lot of value and is worth between $175-$300.
The 1886 date you reference is the patent date for the Model 1887 lever-action shotgun. The collector value can only be assessed by a visual inspection & evaluation. Old Winchesters are very much like old classic automobiles... the graded condition and factory originality are the key factors in determining what they are truly worth. Bert H.
