Avg. condition, photos attached, all original, seems in good working condition. Rifle has always been in the family since original purchase by my grandfather. Date of purchase unknown.
Always been in my family. My mother inherited the rifle and when she passed, left the rifle to me in 2013.
Dear William,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and your patience.
The presented object appears to be a Colt Lightning pump action 38cal rifle with a 26” barrel. The serial number #23647 dates this rifle with a medium frame into the year 1887.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 1.000 to 2.000 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
