Value is determined by a number of factors including age, condition, and documentation. You should check out the NRA Condition Grading Definitions For Antique Firearms. You can find these by using the Google search form to the right. To get a reliable estimate of the value of your gun, see a professional appraiser. If you just want a basic estimate, buy yourself the current Blue Book of Gun Values. Of course, ultimately the value of anything is what it is worth to individuals. What is it worth to you? What is it worth to an individual potential buyer. The gun may be worth more to you because it has sentimental value, e.g. it was your grandfather's gun.
Made in 1919
Unless the Cody Firearms Museum has documentation, there is no way to tell.
The Winchester model 1873 rifle was chambered in 3 different calibers,plus at one time a .22cal rimfire.The 3 calibers are 32-20 Win(32WCF),38-40Win.(38WCF),and 44-40Win.(44WCF).If these markings do not appear on your rifle due to age and having been worn off,then a competent gunsmith will have to do a chamber casting to determine the correct caliber.If you are curious the serial number that you supplied indicates that your Winchester model 1873 was made in 1888.
The Winchester model 1892 was chambered in the following calibers.25-20WCF, 32-20WCF, 38-40WCF, or 44-40WCF.These may be also marked as followed,32WCF, 38WCF, and 44WCF.
The Winchester model 1873 rifle was chambered in 3 different calibers.The 2 most popular were the 44-40Win.(44WCF).38-40Win.(38WCF).and later on in production the 32-20Win.(32WCF).
Your Winchester model 1873 which was made in 1883,was a model 1873 third model which started at serial number 90,000.early model 1873,s were not marked for a caliber since they were chambered only for the 44-40 Winchester.I would say that your third model should be marked for caliber on the barrel just ahead of the receiver,and on the brass elevator.If there is any doubt I would have a good gunsmith take a chamber cast of the gun while determining if the rifle is in good enough condition to shoot.I would also look for the marking 44WCF on the places indicated.
There are 3 different calibers that could be marked on the barrel ahead of the receiver,32-20Win.(32WCF),38-40Win.(38WCF),and 44-40 Win.(44WCF).
The caliber of your Winchester model 1892 rifle should be marked on the barrel of the rifle,just ahead of the receiver.These were chambered in either,25-20(25WCF),or 32-20(32WCF),or 38-40(38WCF),or 44-40(44WCF)calibers.
The caliber should be marked on the barrel of the rifle(32wcf,38wcf,44wcf)etc.There is another way to be sure,and that would be to have a gunsmith make a casting of your chamber using cerrosafe.This will allow the gunsmith to measure the chamber after the casting hardens,and is removed and determine for sure the correct caliber of your Winchester model 1892 rifle/carbine.
No, it is not a "Trapper" model. The standard barrel length for a Model 1892/92 Carbine was 200inches. Trapper Carbines were made with barrels shorter than 20-inches (e.g. 14, 15, 16, and 18 inches).

Would have to see how much damage was done with the reblue. If this was a restoration, instead of a reblue, the gun could still bring over $1000. If it is a typically wheel-buffed hot-salt blue - which is totally inappropriate for that gun - value is maybe $400.
