I received a model 1892 in 38wcf from a friend who passed away recently. Very smooth lever action, octagon barrel, full magazine, solid frame, metal crescent butt plate, lots of scratching on the wood, the finish on the receiver is good, the rifle could use some good cleaning overall, manufactured in 1897. Any idea what this is worth?

Thanks in advance.

  There are at least a few problems with that Rifle if the magazine tube is 1-inch shorter than the barrel... it appears that somebody has whacked off of the barrel. The butt stock indicates that it is a Sporting Rifle... standard barrel length was 24-inches.
  
  I really do need to see clear pictures of it.
