Value and production date of .22 rifles...
I have inherited a few firearms from my father and I am curious about their age and value.
The identifiable markings on barrel, and overall condition are below:
Winchester Model 55 22 S.L or L.R. 7/10
Revelation Model 120 Western Auto Supply Co. .22LR 8/10
Glenfield MOD 75 w/Glenfield 4X15 scope .22LR 7/10
I do not see a serial number on any of these.
I also have a Springfield Armory .45 Serial No. 488814. Markings are "Model of U.S. Army", "Springfield Armory USA", "United States Property" , and wording about patents. The bolt shows "colt 45 auto".
Condition is around 8/10
And a Ruger Mark I .22 LR pistol. Numbered "15-94120" in 9/10 condition.
I am curious about the origins and value of these as well.
I appreciation any and all informations.
Thanks! Jeremy

The prices sound about right. The winchester 22, made from 58-60 worth about $175. However with winchester it all depends on how nice the gun is and who wants it. The 45, from the serial number I think is actually a colt frame with a springfield slide. The frame serial number puts it around 1918. This gun could have been a parts gun put together by someone or an arsenal rebuild. I'm sure if this is not the correct info. We will hear different. 0 -
The .45 has a mixture of parts by different manufacturers. The serial # indicates that it is a Colt frame, with a Springfield Armory slide. The barrel is a replacement. Mixed parts guns like this sell in the $400-500 range.
According to Fjestad's Blue Book of Gun Values, the Model 55 Winchester was made 1958-1961, and would retail for around $95 in 70% condition.

Check the Eagle in the grip of the Ruger MkI..the earlier models had a red eagle (OR whatever the bird) in the escrution of the grip..this was changed to black when Sturm. Rugers Partner passed away..which would bring a little more value to the MkI..the commemorative model produced a couple years ago put the red eagle back in it..but was also sold with a presentation case...might alos check WWW.antiqueguns.com..they have a good web site for obtaining gun values etc.. 0 -
Thanks for the info. I do intend on keep the pistols as I would use them. I do not really have a desire for the rifles, and my wife doesnt really want them in the house, so getting something for them would be nice. There are a few others in the collection that I have that I will also probably hold on to (wife permitting). The .45 is indeed probably a mixture. He used to do quite a bit of matches in his youth - so I dont doubt he mixed the gun up a little. I will check the red eye on the Mark I tonight.
Thanks again! Jeremy0 -
The Winchester model 55 is an odd little single shot that was only made for two years. It is an automatic single shot, as it will eject the fired shell. Depending on condition it should bring in the $200.00 range in descent shape. There is quite a bit of interest in single shot 22's. Especially Winchester.
