I am looking for some input on the value of the commemorative Winchesters. None of them have the box but the one on the top does come have the original brochure and is in 97% condition. Only because one screw on the receiver has some slight surface rust, barely even noticeable.
The second one is a Canadian Centennial when I received it had some serious rust issues under the front forstock.(as seen in pic 3) It was so bad I bead blasted the barrel only and reblued it. It didn't remove the pitting but it did stop it. Also the stock had some water damage by the butt plate. I removed as much as I could but all of it didn't come out. As I see it now it is a great shooter.
Third is a Buffalo bill carbine. It is in decent shape, but does have some rust on the end of the barrel.(as seen in pic 4) Not very much but you can tell its there. Other than that it is in good shape. Stocks are nice and bluing is good.
Heres my question, what would be a good price for these. I doubt there is much collector value left in the bottom 2 but what would be a good shooter value.
