your winchester was made in 1925 and value would be between 450-800+ depending how the buyer sees the condition..or at auction or to a winchester collector looking for that year to fill in his collection,,but as always condition means everything with vintage firearms and they have to be in original as left the factory configuration which means no scope mounts or holes where there was a scope mount,,no sling swivels that weren't factory,,no recoil pads or stock shorting,,and original finish on both metal and wood,,theses are the key factors when a collector looks at a winchester and any of the above will detract from the value to a collector..dealers will look at it 2 ways as a collectors item or as a put on the shelf rifle for deer hunting ,,if it's collector quality a dealer would offer in the 250-350 range ,,if altered it's a rack gun and worth between 150-250 to someone looking for a hunting rifle..
