Default Re: Antique Guns

I’m not real big on black powder but the shotgun looks like a common “no-name” field piece, and the musket looks like a “napoleon” but it’s hard to tell.

The .32 is most likely a railroad or police issue service arm, this was a very common handgun - lots and lots of these were made. I used to buy them from estates for around $50.

The Winchester model 55, is it a top loading single shot with bottom ejection, 22 inch round barrel? Is there a serial number? If it’s what I think it is there were around 45,000 were MFG between 1958-1961 according to my Winchester book. They go for around $175
