what a great uncle !
the 1910 wsl if has good clean bore and crack about 600+- ,but if factory checkering worth more even with the recoil pad
the 1905 wsl if has good clean bore 400-500
better pics could be useful

My very sincere recommendation with that fine bunch of Winchesters is to take a trip to the Winchester Arms Collectors Assn. gun show at Cody Wy. July 14-16, 17. Go prepared with lots of photos and very careful description of every one of them. Guaranteed some of those guns you have will garner the attention of some of the most prolific Winchester collectors on the planet and they will all be there.

It only takes one of those guns that can attract a bidding war to make the trip very worth while & profitable for you. That .22 short and select others will get a lot of attention. This is a "big money" show of shows ( I once seen a 97 win. on offer for $95,000 there).

If I were in your shoes (and I certainly wish I was), I would plan a trip with a couple extra days before the show so I had time to visit the Cody Firearms museum. Take your ser. # info on your guns downstairs, the curator's office is down there and try to get a few minutes of his time to run your guns on his computer ( if you mail a "letter" request they will charge you for each one). I have done this and an "in person" visit doesn't get charged for...they are very accommodating ( at least he was for me).
