Winchester Model 59 .22 - The Firearms Forum

I came into possession of my grandfather's first rifle, a Winchester rifle. It appears to be in good condition. The wood has several scratches, but the barrel seems to be fine. The engravings on the barrel are as follows:

MADE IN U.S.A. WINCHESTIER REPEATING ARMS CO.
NEW HAVEN CONN PATENTED 29 1899

MODEL 59 - 22 SHORT
LONG AND LONG RIFLE

WINCHESTER TRADEMARK

I was wondering how old and how much this could be worth.

Hi sdsweetheart......welcome to TFF!

The Winchester Model 59 was a simple, single shot, bolt-action .22....basically a Model 58 with a pistol grip and longer barrel.

BUT.....it has more than the usual value for such type of rifles since only about 9,200 were made between 1930 to 1931.

Blue Book Value:

80% - $300
70% - $250
60% - $200
