    Hello Charles,

    Your Model 1897 was maufactured circa 1903 (very early in the year). If you would like to know the exact date, contact the Cody Firearms Museum and purchase a factory letter (see the first Sticky at the top of this forum).

    The collector value is a function of several things;

    (1) the graded condition,
    (2) the specific variant,
    (3) the gauge,
    (4) factory originality (i.e. original factory finish, no added recoil pad, no added external choke device, etc.)
