Uberti 44/40

algos83
I just purchased a 44/40 made by Uberti it is a America Remembers 1873 Winchester Commemorative Rifle " Scouts of the Western Frontier". .44-40 caliber, walnut stock, made by Uberti and engraved by A & A Engraving. Number 273 of 300. On the right side of the receiver are the portraits of three of our honored scouts. to the right of the loading gate is the image of Kit Carson and to the left is that of Buffalo Bill Cody. The Shakespeare quoting Bridger can be seen directly above the trigger. All three scouts are surrounded in lavish scrollwork and featured in 24-karat gold. The attention to detail is exacting. The left side of the receiver displays portraits of Jim Beckwourth and Wild Bill Hickok. The images are as faithful to these men as tintypes of the 1800's. Dividing these portraits, in bold Victorian lettering, is the inscription "Dedicated To The Lives And Legends Of Wm. F. Cody And The Scouts Of The Western Frontier." And sharing this place of honor is the symbolic image of the western plains over which the scouts blazed their trails...the American Buffalo. Surrounding each portrait and embellishing the receiver is scrollwork reminiscent of the 1800's. The Tribute is handsomely decorated in spectacular 24-karat gold on the lever, receiver, crescent buttplate, end cap, and magazine cap. The 24-karat gold actually plays in magnificent contrast to the mirror-polished blue octagonal barrel and the checkered walnut stock. And bringing back the traditional flavor of the West are the case hardened hammer and seldom seen spirit level tangent sight. This gun is New in the Box and comes with a "Buffalo Bill The Scout" wrist watch. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how old this rifle is and the selling price of it when it was new? Any information would be greatly apperciated. Thanks I found out this item was made in 2003 and sold for $1,995.00 does anyone know what they are worth now? Thanks again

    I would guess no more than 5-10 years old and probably $1500-2000.00
    You can probably contact America Remembers and they could probably tell you exactly. I have a few Am Remembers rifles and shotgun my Dad had that I will be listing on the auction side shortly.
    Hope this helps!

    Would need pictures. Also here is a gunbroker appraisal service...think they charge about $10.

    Here is a similar rifle that has been listed on the GB auction site for many months at $1,699, without receiving any bids:

    I would guess that it (& yours) would sell in the $1,000-1,500 range.
