i recently inheirited a winchester 58 .22 cal, single shot, bolt action rifle. it appears to be in very good condition (compared to older guns i've seen at shows). i was wondering what kind of value this gun has.
in the small collection, there is also a springfield 1873 trapdoor 45/70 with, as best i can find on the internet,a british bayonette and scabbord all in very good shape. the scabbord is brass on both ends, leather in the middle, with a stip of tin to stiffen. the bayonette is triangular and 22 inches long. any help with the value and/or rarity on these items?
thanks,
bob

The model 58 was only produced for 4 years, 1928-1931. It was offered as a lower cost single shot than the 1904. The original selling price in 1928 was $5.50. There were just under 39,000 58s produced. Winchester also introduced the model 59 for one year in 1930. Both of these little rifles are very desireable and collectible. It's hard to find a nice one. Nice inheritance![^]
P.S. Welcome to the forum, and be careful, those little single shots are addictive. They're like potato chips, you can't stop with just one.[:I]

Hi zoobug,
Of course, the value of your Model 58 is dependent upon condition. A Model 58 in 100% condtion $800.00, 90% condition $500.00, and 60% condition $150.00.
Enjoy your rifle.
