    Not without a detailed description. It's like asking for an appraisal of a 1988 Ford truck. That's an early serial number so details are even more important than later models. You need to give specifics such as any special features, checkering on wood, type of sights (flip-up tang, buckhorn, etc.), barrel length, all markings, and buttplate style (flat or crescent shaped). You also never stated the condition and amount of original finish. Pictures would be helpful.

    The fact that it is a bonafide "Antique" will add a significant premium to the value. Based on the serial number, it was manufactured in late 1897 or early 1898.

    As for the value, the exact configuration and graded condition will dictate exactly how much it is worth. Pictures would significantly help me to evaluate it.

    Instructions for adding photos can be found in the "Want Ads" forum. I would encourage you to post as many detailed photos as possible. As stated, the condition and configuration of your rifle have a significant impact on value. You will be amazed at how much information Bert and our other Winchester aficionados can give you.
