When you ask for the value of this air gun or rifle, you need to give me more information than "How much is it worth?" Let me explain. If I asked you "How much is my 56 T-bird worth?" The first thing you might ask is, "What condition is it in?" It could be a real gem or just a bucket of rust. It's the same with any antique. The current condition determines the value.
You need to give a description of the air gun, give it some sort of rating like, it's in (Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent) shape. Or tell me that is looks well used or has very little wear. Something that gives me an idea of where to start. Without more information it is not possible to give you an estimate of value.
Please state the condition of the Daisy. The original model was the No. 111 model 40 made in 1940-41.
The Daisy No 111 model 40 started production in 1940 and was made in 8 different variations up until the early 1970's then it became the "Red Ryder model 1938" and went on from there until today with 14 different variations. It is hard to set a value for the older model 40's but there is help. Daisy air gun company offers a free service to give you more information and set a value for you.
