It sounds like you have a Second model Winchester 1876 which was manufactured in 1881. The King's Improvement referred to the solid magazine tube. The value will depend on condition. The book I have lists: V.G. Good Fair Poor $3500 2500 1000 500 You will want to have it appraised by an advanced collector. Don't clean it before you show it.

If the rifle has a bronze frame, it is a Model 1866, and it was made in the year 1870. If it has a steel frame, it is a Model 1873 (centerfire), and was made in the year 1880. The value can not be determined without a hands on visual inspection and evaluation.

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. The serial (located on the lower tang behind the lever) is required to determine the date of manufacture. Bert H.

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. As a side note, the serial number you mention is not possible... it should have a 6-digit numerical value. Bert H.


What is a Winchester 9430. and is it different from a 94 30-30?

I wonder if you could be confusing the winchester model 1894 marked as 30WCF with the Winchester model 1894 marked 30-30 Win.There is no difference other than the Winchester model 1894 was marked as 30WCF caliber prior to world war II.

How much is a Winchester rifle marked kings improvement patented March 29 1866 October 16 1860 model 1873 in 32 wcf cal serial number 250392b worth and when was it made?

your Winchester model 1873 was made in the last 3 months of 1887,having a serial number above 90,000 makes yours a third model of the 1873.what you do not say in your question is whether or not you have a rifle,musket,or carbine?If you have a rifle the value would be 750-1,000 dollars in below average condition.It would be worth 1,000-1500 dollars in average condition,and worth 1,500-2,000 in above average condition. you could add 200-300 dollars to the above values if you have a carbine,or musket,and add 10% more in the carbine values because it is in 32-20WCF.
