Overview & History
Winchester Repeating Arms, founded in New Haven, Connecticut in 1866, defined the American lever-action rifle with models like the 1873 and the Model 94, and later earned acclaim for the Model 70 bolt-action ('The Rifleman's Rifle') and the Model 12 pump shotgun. Value depends heavily on the model, production date, caliber, condition, and originality, with antique lever guns and pre-1964 ('pre-64') rifles especially prized.
Identifying & Marks
The serial number dates the rifle (pre-1899 examples are legally antique); check the model designation, caliber, barrel markings, and original finish and wood. 'Pre-64' status, matching parts, and unaltered condition strongly affect value.
