Early winchester 101 value?

Recommended Posts

OK not being  a shot gun guy I'm looking  for some info.  I've got a winchester  101 from 1967- 1968 best I can tell . The gun is near flawless . One small  bump in the receiver  stock. I do believe  it's  in its original  case and I do have all the original  papers  I think  it came with . It is a 3 barrel set with all numbers  matching.  Story I got from my dad goes like this. The gun was bought  from a guy that bought  a old gun store  building  and it was found inside  as new in the rafters. Dad says he shot 25 or 50 rounds outa the o/u barrel  and I've shot just 25 . The others  are supposed  to be unfired . The barrels  are 32 inches each with one o/u and two single shot barrels . Looking  for a value on the set. Thanks

You really need to have that appraised by someone who knows shotguns, especially trap guns.  Win. 101s are VERY good shotguns.  I am guessing somewhere around $6k.

Take it to a club with an established membership, and BOLO for low-ballers.  This, and blue book of gun values (any gun show) will give a starting point.

That is an heirloom right there.

Are all the barrels 12 guage? I'm assuming the two single barrels are different chokes. Probably full and modified chokes. Check for choke restriction markings. This info is very important to value. Also check manufacturing origin. Belgium made guns are the most valuable.

All are 12 gauge and made in 67 or 68 is olin  in japan  . Will look for choke size when I get home . I was under the impression  the earlier  Japanese  guns were more sought  after and the Belgium  were not truly  Belgium  but Portuguese  . Again  I'm no shotgun expert.

As others have stated, please get a professional opinion in this thing. Unless someone offers you a crazy amount, that's the route.

Your gun was made in 1969 per Blue Book of guns serialization. Made from 1967-1971. It's a single barrel Trap with an extra O/U barrel and an extra single. Belgium guns were the more ornate Pigeon grades and have much higher value.

Pm Phil Carr. He's a walking shotgun encyclopedia and one heck of a good man.
