1901 30WCF Value

[96er]

Hi, just wondering if I could get some input on the value of a rifle I have. It dated to 1901. Octagon barrel, dual peep sights, lever action 30WCF. Was told it was considered a "Fancy" grade. Don't remember why. It was said to be in fair shape. The fella who appraised it made me an offer on the spot but I want to get a feel of perhaps what it may be worth. Has been in our family probably all its life but it just sits in my safe and seems like a waist. So? Here I am.
Thanks.

Pictures are everything, you won't get any useful information solely based on a description.

Hard to say without good pics as has been said. could be worth a fair bit or complete junk.

30-30s can go anywhere in price now a days.

Especially bore pictures will be helpful with appraising this rifle.
Sometimes the owner took good care of his equipment, sometimes not.
Great to see examples of $2500 antique(ish) WCF30 but there are also many $250 wall hangers.

Dual peep sights?

Dual peep sights?

One of my WCF30's has a fold down auxilary peep sight with two choices of peep aperature.
