hello ,,your father in laws guns would value as follows
the westernfeild pump is proably worth around 200-250

,,the lefever sids by side would proablay be worth around 400-600

,,the remington speedmaster would be 250-350

,,and the best for last ,,the 1895 winchester,,in the caliber you say it's in how long is the barrel ,,the 1895 was made in about 5 different models and being 30-40 it could be just about any one of them,,there were some us army muskets made a nra musket a standard sporting rifle ,,a fancy sporting rifle ,a carbine model and a nra us army rifle
barrel length is important to determine which one it might be ,,values can range from around 600-possibly over 1000 in the condition you say it's in ..and quite possibly more to a collector depending how he sees the condition and the rareity of the model,,

I do know that this '95 Winchester was manufactured in 1903 (SN41081), if that helps. I don't have the barrel length handy because my father-in-law is fairly tight fisted with this gun. He doesn't like me drooling on it too much. LOL

I do know that this gun still fires because I took it elk hunting last year and killed a spike bull. Still accurate enough at 100 yards.

I also know that the minor surface rust came from spending the winter months in the Idaho mountains next to a fallen log. It seems it was lost while field dressing a black bear sometime around 1936. They went back the following spring and actually found it. Amazing.

I love these old family guns, they have cool histories.

Thanks again for all your help!

I don't think so. I would be disowned and probably disemboweled. Maybe slowly roasted over an open fire. My wife's grandfather bought it new in 19something or other. So, it has to stay in the family. Now if your not too old, I do have a daughter looking for a husband. LOLOLOLOLOL

I have shot this one also. It's a tack driver. Nice little 22.
