I don't have any better pictures sorry, finish looks to be 75% or better, serial number is 6827XX
Anyone care to guess the value of this gun? It is part of a collection I may be buying

Based on the one poor picture, I'd say the stock has been refinished since the metal displays much more wear. I could be wrong. More and better pictures would help. A lot!
From a collector standpoint, I'd say $200. If in fact it is 75% or better, then $300, maybe $400. If I just "wanted" the gun, then the sky is the limit. Doug "Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks." Thomas Jefferson

The "value" is entirely different if you're a flipper, or a collector. If you expect to buy it and resell it for a profit, then the economics drive it's value. But if it's something you want, then what you're willing to pay is the only yardstick.

I ended up buying the gun, I'll figure out the MFG date and get better pics. It is chambered in .22 Rem Special (.22 WRF)

That would make it a Model 12CS. I am not a collector. They call me an "accumulator". How is ammo availability? I don't buy things I can't shoot!

Ammo is available, going to try and pick some up today, if my LGS doesn't have any I'll order a case from Midway USA. Date stamp says the gun was built in Oct 1926 |

.22 WRF is widely available. I get it at Sportsman's Warehouse but I've seen it at most major stores like Cabela's and Bass Pro. Very fun to shoot and can be used in any 22 WMR-chambered firearm (except autoloaders, I think) with a LOT less muzzleblast than 22 WMR. My Ruger Single Six's love it.

Thanks for showing. It looks like a real beauty and built like a brick s/h back in those days. nice to see it is in .22 W.R.F for a change. Love those old gems built from milled parts.
