I’ve recently come across a Remington 22 pump-action rifle from 1909 and I’m curious about its market value. I know these models can vary quite a bit depending on their condition, and I’m trying to gauge a fair price for it. Here are some specifics:

Condition Overview

  • Exterior: The wood looks in decent shape but has some wear and scratches.
  • Mechanics: Works fine, but it could use a good cleaning.
  • Barrel: No rust, but there are some small dings.

Questions I Have

  • What would be a reasonable asking price for such a firearm?
  • Are there any specific selling points or features of the Model 12 I should highlight?
  • Does anyone have recent experience purchasing or appraising one of these?

Additional Context

I’m aware that auction sites and gun shows vary greatly in terms of pricing, but I’d love to get a ballpark figure or any resources for finding historical pricing. Any insights on comparable sales would also be appreciated! Looking forward to your thoughts and advice!
