For valuation guidance from our members, post quality photos
The caliber should be marked on the top of the barrel just in front of the frame ring, and on the bottom of the bronze elevator block on the bottom side of the gun. If it is a centerfire, it will be "44 W.C.F.", "38 W.C.F.", or "32 W.C.F." The potential value is greatly affected by caliber.
Thge next thing we need to know, is which variant it is... Sporting Rifle or Saddle Ring Carbine {SRC}. The length of the barrel will tell us that information.
The serial number tells us that it was made sometime in the mid 1880s. If you want to kniow the exact date, purchase a factory letter for it from the Cody Firearms Museum.
The graded condition is very important in determining the collector value. If you do not know how to grade it, then you best option is to post several close-up clear pictures of it.
With the scant information you provided, it could anywhere between a $700 parts gun to possibly a $30,000 Deluxe Sporting Rifle.

Ok.. looking at the top... it says... 44 cal. I remember my dad saying something about 44-40 but when i was looking I didnt see anything really about it so i figured he didnt know.. but I guess he did HAHA.. hmm the lenght of the barrel.. well from the chamber cage to the end it is 24 inches from the cock to the end of the barrel it is 30 inches.. I'll try and get pics but the gun itsself is so dark its hard to get pics.. Ill try and go outside in the light and take some with a digital camera tommorrow during the afternoon.. Yea the man date said 1885 for the date of it being made..
