" Levers" can probably give you a really good reference.

I can't seem to find anything on Levers. What is it and where is it?

Is it short or long rifle? I'm afraid the tapping will hurt the value. Looks like it was tapped for a side mounted scope, I had a Winchester 1917 done the same.

Ultra cool rifle, TJ, hope you're getting an appraisal for insurance only.

It's a long rifle Edge. I think it is in very good shape but what do I know.

Take it to Legendary Guns on 19th Ave. They have a huge cowboy shooting section and really know about the old guns.

Thank you for the information. Much appreciated. :)

Asking about the bore, I'm asking when you shine a light down it, is it still bright with good rifling, or is the rifling worn/hard to make out and is there corrosion?

 

Looking at the the closer photos, my guess is at least that the wood has been refinished, possibly the metal too-just comparing finish on hammer vs rest of receiver. Considering any refinish, the drilled holes, caliber (seems somewhat rare), the serial number/date of manufacture, etc. I'm going to say it will appraise under $4k. BUT, I honestly have zero qualifications, and I hope if appraises for $10K!

 

Good luck and let us know!
