    1. VOLUNTEER Arms Company....Made by Stevens Arms for the Belknap Hardware Company, Louisville, Kentucky...In Excellent Condition is Worth $75.00....In average shooting condition...$35.00 to $50.00....

    There were quite a few Guns manufactured without Serial Numbers being stamped on the recievers..Same go's for Model Numbers...

    2. Remington Model 512, .22 L.R.R.F., Clip Fed...In excellent Condition...$125.00....

    3. Stevens/Savage Arms Corp. Model 325-C, 30-30 Bolt Action, Clip Fed, Carbine....In Excellent Condition...$175.00

    No Great Collector value in any of the above....

    Agree with the first two appraisal values...not going to be a lot of interest there! The 325...you will see lots of them around with a reserve of around $250...and you see them again and again and again! They never seem to sell at that price; in other words, I agree there too that it would realistically go around the $175 mark. It was only made for a very few years and is a nice handy little gun, but aside from the butterknife bolt handle, there is not very much special about them!

    Neither old nor rare! All are considered modern guns as they fail to meet the 1898/1899 definition of antique. All are utility guns that were/are meant to be good shooters and affordable to just about anyone with a need or desire to own one.

    In the gun world a century old firearm can be somewhat of an oxymoron... Old, but thoroughly modern by law and design in one case. Another gun made at the exact same time (say a Belgian scattergun) may be considered modern by law, but be dangerously antique by construction. The latter is a wallhanger and the former a shooter.

    A lot to learn in the gun world and "rare" isn't always an indication of increased value. Often it indicates that a certain gun wasn't well received by the public. Unpopular then most often is unpopular now.
