Dear Doug,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the apprisal.
So that I may best assist you, can you please state the measurements and upload detailed and focused images of all hallmarks, numbers, and stamps on the metal parts of the weapon?
Thank you for your help.
With kind regards,

Hello,
My apologies again for the delay. This is a Winchester Model 1890 made in 1920. These were incredibly popular varmint and target shooting guns well into the 20th century, and are still used extensively today. This gun is in good condition, with most of the original bluing remaining. There is some pitting on the barrel with some rust forming, but the receiver is in good shape. There is some corrosion forming on the tang. The wood is in excellent shape, with no major scratches or damage. Given the condition of this piece, and completed auctions of similar items, a fair market estimation is 550-600 dollars. Please reach out with any questions.
Thank you,
Bo Stuck
