Hello, In the year 1888. Bert Hartman
While your Shotgun says model 1901,It is actually a Winchester model 1887 lever action 10ga shotgun.The model 1901 shotgun which was a strengthened model 1887 starts at serial number 64,856.These 2 models of shotguns had interchanging serial numbers.Your serial number shows that it was made by Winchester in 1891.The value of your shotgun is based on the amount of original finish remaining on the wood and metal in a percentage.If your shotgun has between 10%-50% of its original finish remaining,then its value will be between 675-1,325 dollars.I would like to add that your chamber length should be 2 7/8in in length.
Made in 1910.The serial numbers of the model 1901 started where the model 1887 shotgun left off.the serial number start for this model is 64856.It should be noted that some serial numbers were skipped between 1904-1920.Total production was 13,500 shotguns including the serial numbers skipped.My records indicate that your shotgun was made in 1906.
