I have a 1958 Winchester Model 42 that has been my Dad’s since it was bought new for him in 1958 . It has been extremely well cared for and is what I would say is Excellent condition . It is a Field Grade with a plain round barrel. The bluing is 100% on the receiver and barrel and there are slight signs of wear on the slide rail . The stock and fore end are in great shape as well . I was referred to this group in hopes one of you would be interested in it or share some insight as to how to proceed in selling it . I am in Fort Worth , Texas and not a dealer but trying to help my Dad move a few guns from his collection. I have pictures that I took 7/3/2026 . Thanks for the help , Harris Hoover

Post some pics and the experts can give you a value.  

Or go online and see what they are selling for.  Then you can better deal with a gun shop if you choose that route.  Many may buy it or take it in on consignment.

Very popular with collectors. Make sure you get all the money. The closed auctions on gunbroker are very useful, the asking prices are often someones fantasy. For common everyday guns closed Gunbroker auctions are practically gospel. For highly collectable guns, not very reliable.
