I have a JC Higgins 9 shot 22 LR revolver. It is marked on the barrel JC Higgins - RANGER over 583.991. It is in excellent working condition. The barrel, ejector housing, and cylinder/crane are blue. The frame, hammer and trigger guard/backstrap appear to have been polished out to a silver color (This might be the original finish). I need to know who manufactured this for Sears and what model it crosses over to. Also I need an approximate value. Any info ill be appreciated!

High Standard.
We do have an eminent High Standard expert that frequents this forum. Perhaps he will chime in on this. Bob
High Standard Double Nine - Revolvers at GunBroker.com : 912696716
Here is one that I sold recently. It was kind of rough, but it still did well. Good luck.
The Sears Western style revolvers made with the 5.50" barrel by High Standard had a number of variations -
583.990 583.991 583.991R 583.992
High Standard Western style revolvers with the 5.50" barrel and the Double Nine brand name also had a number of variations -
W-100 W-101 W-102 W-103 W-104 W-105 W-106 ( steel frame)
In this case the 583.991 and the W-101 are the best match but have some different parts. Sears had a cylinder fluting designed by Harry Sefried for a look distinctive to Sears revolvers made by High Standard.
Thank you, Mr. Stimson. Your time and knowledge is appreciated.
