If this rifle is in any kind of recognizable condition, it's too valuable to take chances with. Take it to at least two reputable antique firearms dealers for appraisal. Do NOT sell it to the first dealer that makes an offer. Remember, the less they pay you-- the more profit they make when they sell it.

The Winchester Model 1902 was manufactured between 1902 -1931. \n90%    80%    70%    60%    50%    40%    30%    20%\n$200  $150    $120   $100    $90     $80      $75     $65\n\n\nThe Winchester Model 1892 was manufactured between 1892-1941. Your serial # would indicate 1912 as the year of production.\n\n90%----- 80% ---73%---60%     50%    40%    30%\n$2000   $1500   $1300   $1000   $900   $750    $600\n\n"bferg" must be using an old outdated copy of the Blue Book because all of his values are way under actual current values.\n\n32WCF and 32-20WCF are the same.\n\nAdded\nbferg,\nI've checked my back issues of Blue Book. There has been an upward trend in the value of Model 1892's going back to at least the 18th edition which even then (almost 10 yrs. ago) valued an 80% M-1892 at $1100..........$100 MORE than what your showing the value to be today. To believe the values you have listed, you would have to believe the bottom has fallen out of the vintage Winchester market. That hasn't happened. \n\nWhen valuing guns or anything else for that mater, you need to apply common sense and not just blindly cut and paste numbers off a web site.\n\nIf your getting these values from the "ONLINE VERSION" all I can tell you is that they are just flat out wrong. If I where you, I'd ask for my money back.\n\nBTW, I didn't give you the thumbs down.\n\nMORE\nbferg\nI have been debating about whether to buy the online version for awhile now. This incident is certainly going to cause me to take pause and check out the discrepancies here. I just have a hard time believing a vintage 80% Winchester could drop fully 1/3 of it's value in one year.\n\nLAST EDIT\nbferg\nGlad to hear it was just a small human error. I tip my hat to you for acknowledging the error and not just deleting your post.

I would get on the browning website wwww.browning.com and find a number for them.  You can give them your serial number and they will look it up for you.

Whatever you do, don't put any modern, "high speed" or "Hi-Speed" cartridges in that old rifle.\nMost of today's .22 rimfire cartridges generate higher pressures than the cartridges made before the 1930s, when the higher velocity .22 rimfire was introduced.\nIf you must shoot it, use standard velocity ammo. This is most often encountered as target ammo, but I believe that CCI still makes the .22 Short in standard velocity.\nAnd avoid the temptation to have it rechambered to .22 Long Rifle. Not only would it be straining the action, but few people realize that .22 Short barrels are almost always a slower rate of rifling than identical barrels made for the .22 Long Rifle.\nThe result of rechambering a .22 Short barrel to .22 Long Rifle is usually lousy accuracy. The slower rifling rate of the .22 Short barrel won't stabilize the longer and heavier .22 Long Rifle bullet very well.\n\nGet that rifle checked by a gunsmith before you fire it. The Hamilton was a cheap rifle in its day and may not have withstood the decades well --- especially if someone before you was shooting high-speed ammo in it.\n\nNow, as to value:\n\nThe 2006 Standard Catalog of Firearms lists the Hamilton Model 27 (p. 537):\nThe Model 27 is described as a single-shot, tip-up .22-caliber rifle with a stamped steel receiver. Barrel length is 16 inches and brass-lined, or 14-7/8 inches. Overall length is 30 inches. It was first produced in 1906.\nVery good condition - $300\nGood - $200\nFair - $150\nPoor - $100\n\nThe Hamilton was a cheap rifle in its day but very popular. Few of them survived in decent condition. Most were used until they wore out, or were used to the point of abuse and junked out.\nThey are not particularly popular as collectibles but I believe their value will rise in the years ahead.\nIf you have one in exceptionally good condition, I'd consider hanging onto it as an investment. If it has a lot of wear, little bluing left and dings in the stock, it will never bring much money.\nThese are neat little rifles, made chiefly for boys who hunted or lived on farms. They taught a lot of youngsters how to shoot --- and those youngsters later displayed their marksmanship abilities at Iwo Jima, Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, North Africa and Sicily.\nCheap .22 rifles like the Hamilton introduced a lot of kids to gun safety, hunting ethics and marksmanship.

the answer is in the army files of every nation that ever had a war.\nmachine guns spit out bullets very fast. Or I suspect the old Tommy gun in the 20s' was the one. Gangsters perhaps in Chicago.\n\ngl

possibly this site http://www.shepherdtool.com/antique_tools_store1.htm would have a picture of one, so that you'd at least know what it is, and from there you'd have more info to go on in looking up more info

Best thing to do here is to look it up in the blue book of gun values. You can get it at your local book shop or through the NRA

And you're not likely to find much more information about it.  The Warranted London mark usually indicates an inexpensive shotgun from Belgium.  Examine the breech area for an oval with an ELG inside.  That will be the Belgian proof mark.  There were millions of similar guns imported c. 1890-1914 with a wide variety of trade names.  They are considered unsafe with modern ammunition and are valued only as mantle decorations.

You've hit on a subject that has endured a lot of heated debate. Very little REAL evidence is available to support either side of the controversy. Were they blued or shipped bright?\n\nThe Enfield P53 rifle/musket was manufactured in England (made in the early 1860s by various contractors in Birmingham and London). Examples of this rifle that have been sealed show a case colored lockplate(fragile color easily worn to a bright finish), cold rust blued barrel, heat blued steel barrel band and bright rammer rod.\n\nWere they shipped struck bright? Experts on both sides will argue till the cows come home. Colt ordered some from Enfield to match the bore and struck bright finish like Springfields.\n\nYou decide.

I don't think that there's the value or interest in the Model 1917 to warrant anyone making a 'replica'. What you may have is a "sporterized" 1917. \n\nCheck out the specs here:\n\nhttp://www.surplusrifle.com/m1917/index.asp\n\n\nAlso go to the forums and ask under the 1917 section. Those guys know it all about your rifle. \n\n\nAlso, take a look at this pic. Does your rifle have this on it? \n\nhttp://upload4.postimage.org/1489245/photo_hosting.html\n\nIf it does it's a P1917 rifle. It was designed by the British armory at Enfield and made by contract to various US gun makers. When the US entered WWI, they didn't have enough 1903 Springfields to arm our soldiers so they adopted and used all the Enfields that US companies were making for the Brits. It was quite a good rifle for the time but Americans snobbishly looked down on it for it's British roots. They are gaining in collector value as long as they are unmodified. No wyhere near the price for a 1903 or even M1. Hard to put a value on it because it all depends on condition. $50 to $800 (for a perfect and rare specimen).

10-20 dollars for a Colt Single Action thru 1900.\n\nWinchester Model 1894 18 dollars thru 1900 (round barrel.. octagon barrels were a couple dollars more)\n\nLess quality firearms could be had for 1.00 and up.\n\nMuzzleloaders were plentiful and cheap and were almost giveaways after metallic cartridges came into being. Many ended as play toys for children.

It's the same as the Garcia Bronco.
