I have a VERY old Winchester 410, Model 42, and the serial number is 2638 (yes, that's correct)......it is in as good of shape as can be expected for something this age that has been used.... a few minor scratches but no rust. My Dad borrowed it from a friend in 1952 for me to use to go dove/quail hunting with him and the friend gave it to me the following year. It handles 3" shells and has a full choke.
Any ideas as to this gun's worth ? THANK YOU !!!

Since you could only have a 26 or 28 in. barrel, plain or with a solid rib. So as to value, in average condition for a "plain barrel full choke" about $950-$1200. Add about $100 for a 28in. barrel.
A solid ribbed gun, about $2400-$3200. These have gone through the roof in the last 3 years, not many come up for sale.
Of course there were several varations, most came with plain walnut pistol grip butt stock and a grooved forearm. If you have an "english butt stock" or checkered stocks, this will add significantly to the value.

I gave some thought to this one but I would have to drive too far.
Once to buy it & then again to pick it up after the waiting period.
