just curious if anyone here might know a ball park value on two guns that are my dad's.

1. is a springfield 45-70 trap door infintry rifle. he said he doesn't know what year but said that the trap door model might give an idea of the year it was made.

2. winchester lever action 10 gauge shotgun model 1900 or 1901 not sure which year.

i wasn't sure if anyone he is into antiuque guns or not i tried to look at the blue book value on line but it seems that they are just telling me where to buy the book.

Mr. Kav,

You'd probably need model number and/or serial number as well as condition to get a fair idea. There are many Winchester books out there with serial number data.

If you want to bounce a few ideas off of some pretty knowledgeable folks w/r/t to values, you might want to check out the centerfire forum at:

Hope this helps.
