Winchester Model 1873
A relative in Nova Scotia has a Winchester Model 1873 chambered in 38WCF. According to the serial number it is a 3rd generation, serial number indicates it was produced in 1884. From the stories I've heard, it was brought back to Nova Scotia by relatives who came west to work on the building of the railroad.
It was stored away for many years and has some surface rust on the barrel. He is looking to possibly sell it in the future and is looking for recommendations on somewhere to have the rust cleaned. Can anyone recommend someone in Alberta who would be able to do this? He also has the 3 loading tools for the rifle. Anyone have a rough idea of a value on the rifle and loading tools?
Thanks in advance
