Hello friends, I have a challenge for you. My FIL has a box of older rifles/shotguns that he let me take a look at, he wants to know if he has anything unique. I was able to identify the model numbers on all but one, and price (tentatively) most of them, but i was hoping the scholars and history buffs among you would be able to tell me a bit more about them, like rarity, collectibility, hidden values, neat factoids, and whether or not I should try to restore them (many have rust, one a cracked stock, etc) or just try to clean em up.
First up is the modelless shotgun:
Harrington & Richardson, "Bay State" in cursive etched on the side, barrel stamp says only ,Made in USA 410 ga choke'
Break action
ser A907XXX
Winchester model 1897, 16 ga take down pump shotgun.
Winchester model 77 semi auto tube fed .22
Winchester model 62A pump action tube fed .22
Savage 1899 takedown(?) Lever action .250-3000
Which as I understand it is 250 savage.
Winchester model 02 single bolt action short long or 'extra long
Savage 24b break action 22lr over 410 ga
Marlin model 80 bolt action magazine fed .22
I have been and will continue to do research myself, but any additional info I can get would be great. Thanks in advance.
