I have a Winchester model 62A .22 S L LR rifle serial # 1637xx in good condition. What is the approximate value and age?

Bert, et al,

Just picked up a model 62a, made in 1935. Very nice metal finish, maybe 50%, balance in patina and white. No rust anywhere, nor pits. Very nice stocks, with the exception that the buttstock was busted and repaired. Oval shaped crack about the size of a bluegill, on the right side of the stock. Very tight, cannot feel any crack/crevice anywhere, but when restained/refinished, it left a dark line all the way around the crack...very obvious.

Question for you is, since the crack is so tight and stable, would it be advisable to just leave it, or buy a new replacement stock, and finish that to match the forend? I am going to hold this for investment, so keep that in mind.

Thanks!

It is not possible to determine where it was first sold unless you were the buyer, or you know who bought it. No records were kept by Winchester containing the sales information you seek.
