No model number or serial number to speak of. There are a couple of stampings otherwise:

Made by The Hopkins & Allen Manfg. Co. Norwich Conn. U.S.A.
The Merwin Hulbert & Co. Junior

Also, Pat. June 8. 1890 and 22 R.F.

It's a take down rifle (I assume) but I don't have the pin and don't know how to find one. I'm just using a bolt right now which means I haven't been firing it.

Looks like a Lever action, Falling block Rifle. No Model number. .22 rimfire (Black Power) to 38-55. Rimfires tend to bring 10 to 30% less. Made 1888 to 1892. Some found with Merwin and Hulbert & Co. markings. Values from Flaydermans Very good 350, Exc 750. With the missing pin yours would be in fair condition. Hope that helps

It definately a .22 rimfire. I've put at least one .22 short and one .22LR through it but I would like to know where I could find a pin for it.

I didn't really expect it could've been valuable, interesting.

Thanks for your information.
