An elderly friend of my wife would like to sell her late husband's guns. Most are common and easy to value. One has me unable to locate a fair value on. It's a Winchester model 57 in .22 short caliber. I can find them in 22 lr on gunbroker but I hear the 22 short is rare. The rifle is in in about 90% condition. It has Lyman target aperture sight rear and hooded front target sight. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
According to the BBGV, the .22 Short was discontinued in 1930. Values are:100% - $1000, 98% - $875, 95% - $725, 90% - $575, 80% - $475, 70% - $425, 60% - $375
It came with a 5 round magazine (standard), or a 10 rnd mag. It should have a left side push button mag release, checkered steel buttplate. 22" barrel w/barrel band. About 18, 600 were made between 1927-1936
