You guys think very highly of your south end!!!
A decent Model 1890 can bring a couple of thousand dollars. That's expensive tissue!!!!!!!!!!
The 596595 serail number puts manufacture at 1918 a bit off from the 1913 stamped on the gun case.
The .22 WRF is most closely similar to a .22 Mag nowadays. The ammo is still produced by Winchester but on limited supply and can be a bit expensive and tough to find, compared to typical .22 ammo. Variations of this rifle can drive the price quite high for .22 cal bores. I have seen them sell for + $6000!! Seriously expensive tissue.

Like all other old rifles the condition dominates in addition to special order features like deluxe wood and special sights. Since you are all members send in some photos and the value might surprise you.

Thanks
