Looking for some info on Winchester model 97 and Winchester model 1894

[CIBKais]

Hi all,

I recently inherited this rifle and shotgun from my dads collection and am looking to sell them as I have no room/need for them.

The model 97 is 30" barrel 12 ga and according to winchester it was manufactured in 1927. It also has the first (and I think coolest) reflex optic, a nydar model 47.

The 1894 is a 20" barrel in 32 special and according to winchester it was manufactured in 1920.

They both function and are in decent shape for being ~100 years old

I tried looking around the net but I've seen the shotgun go for 1,000-40,000 depending on the year and condition.

Does anyone know what a realistic price for these would be? Also where should I sell them? I rarely see antique guns on here so would gunbroker be a better bet? Are there any foundations or collectors that might be interested I could contact?

Sorry for the 20 questions and thanks for your time!

The shotgun has a few issues. One is that it doesn't have the original butt plate and might have been cut down, and the drilling and tapping for the reflex sight hurts the overall value. It's also a take down model, which is not as valuable as a solid receiver model.
The '94 lever actions front sight looks odd in the picture. The gun has been around the block a bit and being a .32 Special caliber hinders it also.
The saddle ring carbine models generally generate higher sale prices, even with the same wear as yours.
