I am looking at a Model 90 with the serial number 680xxx and, as best I can tell, it was manufactured 1925-1926. I’d appreciate any more accurate information and any suggestions on things to look for/at before I take the plunge. Thank you

Model 90 serial numbers 680000 – 680999 were all manufactured in late June through early November 1922.  The complete serial number will narrow it down to the exact date.  You failed to mention which of the four specific .22 rim fire cartridges that it is chambered for… that will make a difference in how desirable  (collectable) that it is.

September 28th, 1922.  The 22 Long Rifle is the most desirable of the four different rim fire cartridge chamberings.  The graded condition of the rifle will dictate what its potential value is.  Pictures are needed to evaluate it.
