The price is what you are willing to sell it for is what i was told by a avid gun collector. I have a rem mod #4 falling block 22 cal, and Remington couldn't tell me how many were made or when. Stating records were not on computer and would be hard to locate. If this is an heir loom as mine, price will take on more value. Value for a gun for sell is determined by condition over all and especially of lock and bore.
AnswerAF Grass - Lots of the manufacturers don't know anything about their production in "olden times". Luckily, they will let serious students of the craft study their old records. The Standard Catalog of Firearms and The Blue Book of Gun Values report different production figures for your #4 rolling block (50,000 and 350,000 respectively) but agree that they were manufactured from 1890 to 1933. They're not too close on values either if you look at the low and high ends of the scale, but in the mid range (SCofF Good and Very Good or BBofGV 60-70%) agree on a value of $300-$400.And for the #6 in the original question, BBofGV says 497,000 mfg 1901-33 and SCofF says over 250,000 mfg 1902 and 1903. Values given in grades up to Very Good/70% are pretty close, starting at $75 for Poor/10% and going up to $300/$275. BBofGV goes up to $500 for 95% and SCofF only to $350 for Excellent.
All Hat No Horse
January 6 1902-43,897 were made
There's very few Remington things you can identify by just a serial but you got lucky ;) That is a Remington Model 1889 made in 1902. Value is greatly dependent on Condition, Condition, Condition, and Condition.
Identifying the model and then the condition would be first...
Can you give more description of your gun? To my knowledge, Colt has never manufactured a lever action firearm. The Model 1902 was a military version of the Model 1878 revolver and available only in 45 caliber. 44 Colt is a black-powder loaded cartridge that was used when converting Model 1860 percussion revolvers to cartridge loading.
Answer.35 Remington is a caliber, introduced around 1912, not a rifle or model. Please advise of the action type (bolt, pump, lever) maker and model number. On a guess (based upon the patent dates) I'll hazard that you have a pump action Remington Model 14. Book value ranges from $600 for 100% condition to $11 for 60%, but these guns were made invarious grades (A, C & F) that command higher premiums, and, if you have the "thumbnail" safety introduced in 1918 it can double the gun's value. Take this one to a reputable gunsmith to be examined and appraised.The Remington high powered auto calibers (25. 30, 32, 35) all were introduced in 1906 with the Remington model 8 High-powered Automatic rifle. The first high-powered center-fire cartridge rifle ever made in the world.
Well the patent date is 1902 not 1802 but that still doesn't determine when it was actually made. Is this a rolling block? If the forstock is rather long it would be a model 4 if it's short and it's probably a model 6. For value need model and condition. Model 6 good condition
50-500 depending on exactly what you have, condition, accessories, etc..
The Remington Model 9 is a single shot shotgun manufactured during the period of 1902-1910. According to M. J. Kantor who worked for Remington Arms Service Division, in a letter dated December 23, 1969 stated that the total production on the Model 9 was about 200,000. However, current information on the Remington website indicates the production at 66,000.
made 1902. value depends on condition
The Marlin 3030 model is a classic hunting rifle made in 1902. The value of this gun today can reach several thousand dollars.
New heard of a "New Model" 1882 and that is not a serial no for a 1882.It does fit the serial range of a model 1889 made in the last days of 1902.
The Draped Model - 1902 was released on: USA: July 1902
