It could be considerable! I would have it appraised by a member of the Winchester collectors assoc.Your serial number should fall between number 441,626-466,624,for a rifle made in 1893.You have a Winchester model 1873 third model rifle.The minimum value with no finish remaining and in poor condition would be 800 dollars.This could go as high as 4,000 dollars depending on condition,and if any special order features are present.Please heed my advise and have it appraised.
If the serial number is 459317, it was made in 1893. Letters don't compute in a Winchester serial number for a model 1873.
