Old firearms (ID, value, etc.)

[JB5812]

I have a few rifles, carbines, and pistols that my grandpa passed on to me years back and I just dug up these <span style="text-decoration: underline">CRAPPY</span> pics off my computer, but they are all I have at the moment. Only had a few minutes when I decided to take them. I'm stationed down here in socal and these are all tucked away in a nice big safe back home, so better pictures/discriptions/info is not really available other than what I remember. I think I posted a question about a couple of these a long time ago.. but what the hell.

I originally took these for insurance purposes just to document them. I know it's not much to go off of, but since I found the pictures, I was curious what anyone knows about any of them. Maybe a ROUGH value too. Not NEEDING the info for anything, just thought it would be fun to post them and share. I'll write what I remember about each one (if anything)

Kinda mad I don't have a picture of my model 1903 Spingfield though... it's in tip top shape and everything is original from 1946. Next time I'm home I'll pull them all out and take good photos and get all details.



Okay, well as far as these pistols, I'm not too worried about. I don't remember much about them, but I know they all were marked fairly detailed on all of them. If someone knows anything about them, still feel free to speak up though

This one I know is French.

I know what this one is and all about it. Even shot it.

Japanese rifle. Still even has the Imperial Chrysanthemum on the top too

Can't remember the caliber of this. Think it was a 25-30? Something close to that. This one is OLD.

Very popular sporter of its time. Savage model 99

Marlin 1894

Mauser

A couple shotguns I don't remember much about.

The second pistol down from the top looks like an old S&W "Lemon Squeezer" model 40. I can't tell from the photo if it has a bobbed off hammer. The #40 was hammerless. The one I worked on was chambered in 38 S&W. An older cartridge that's very under powered for personal protection purposes. A few years ago the one I worked on was valued at $200. A lot depends on the condition.

You are correct. It is a .38, and there is no external hammer on it. Although I didn't know it was a model 40. Thanks for the info Victor.

Second pistol is a Polish Radom.
wiki

If it has Nazi (Waffen) markings it will be more valuable.

1st and 6th pistols are Ivar Johnsons - approximate value, and this is no joke: $14.

I'm holding one for the next gun buyback where I can get a $100 wally world card instead of selling.
THey are on gunbroker, yours are in cherry sh ape so they may fetch upwards of $50-$100 MAX -

The pistol in picture number 5 looks to be the U.S. Navy Model 38s&w with a 6" barrel produced around the 1900's. The value can range from exc. @2500 to poor @300 dollars. It might be the model 1899.

The pistol in the third picture appears to be a Colt, the type used by Billy the Kid. With the bird's beak grip. Depending on the generation will depend on the price, anything from the 1st to the 3rd generation are worth money.

The pistol in picture number 4 looks to be a Smith & Wesson 357 maganum from the 1960's through the 1970's, it is also probably a 38 special. value is nominal.

the pistol in picture number 6 appears to be a Webely 44. Produced in the mid 1880's through the late 1900's. it's value depends on when it was manufactured.

The pistol in picture number 8 is a Polish Radom, But the Polish military stamp is missing and there is no nazis proof markings where it should be. So it appears to be for the civilain market or even for export. The model appears to be the Model 1936. Unsure of the value.

The Japanese rifle looks to be an Arisaka Type 99, but I need to see a picture of the whole rifle to give you the actual type of 99. The stock actually looks like a replacement because the butt stock is not a two piece but the picture seems to be a little blurry. The value also depends on what kind of type 99 it is and if it has been sporterized or not. They came in two calibers 6.5 and 7.7.

The springfield 30 carbine is valued at different amounts depending if it's all matching, who actually manufactured it and the year it was manufactured. For example Winchester and Singer(yes the sewing machine company) are worth the most to collectors.

The springfield Model 1873 trapdoor came in three types the Infrantry model, the Cadet model, and the Cavarly carbine.
The infrantry model is 45-70 caliber with a 32.5" barrel, full length stock held by two barrel bandsThe lock is marked US Springfield 1873. The breechlock is either marked Model 1873 or US Model 1873. Approximately 73,000 were manufactured between 1873 and 1877. Value ranges from Very Good @2750 to poor @200 dollars.
The Cadet model features a 29.5" barrel with a full length stock and two barrel bands. The look and Breechlock will be the same as the Infantry model. Approximately 3,000 were manufactured and it's value ranges from Very Good @1750 to poor @300 dollars.

That mauser appears to be a Spanish mauser from around the 1930's. It's value is around 200 dollars because it was sportized. The caliber could be 7mm or 8mm.

I hope this helps. Pm me if you have more questions.
