Stevens Scope Question

Looking for info and value of a Stevens Scope.

It looks to be 6 power maybe a bit more. 
It is marked:
 
         J Stevens Arms & Tool Co
Pat. PNDG                             NO 368
         Chicopee Falls. Mass USA

 
it is just over 16" long and has a non-click adjustment rear mount.  I was told they are Winchester mounts.  Their only marking on the mounts is Pat NOV. 5 1907

Photos here.

Nick Stroebel's 2008 book on Sights and Scopes says $850 to $1250 with mounts and $550 to $950 for the tube only. I am not sure how the Winchester mounts would affect the price. I think prices may be down from 2008 or Stroebel's prices may be high because I have been able to buy scopes for considerably less than his prices on occasion.

I'd say Nick's prices are a bit high in today's market. Maybe 20%-30% high from what I've seen these Stevens scopes go for. To a collector the Winchester mounts will be a deduction, but if he can use them on another scope, then it wont be much deduct.

Wow, Thanks for the info.  No wonder when I originally posted this on a MSN board, all I got for a reply was "how much you want for it?"

There are two small chips in the glass, I tried to photograph them in one of the shots.  They do not show up quite so dark in the actual image.   

Thanks
Jack.

I saw a Winchester A5 in pretty well used but mechanically good condition at a show last weekend.  All correct. 450 bucks. It was a pretty good deal for a Winchester.

Somebody may pay more for a Stevens in the same condition but I doubt it. Chips cut the value by half at least. If not bad they make very little difference to the actual performance. For sure they hurt the sales price

I have the same scope with different mounts and I'm missing the front element. The image is very clear with the stand cross-hair sight.

I agree with Boats on this one $400.00 to 450.00 for good shape is about right. You may find some idiot on fleebay who will give you more. I don't know what Stroble smoked before he came up with that price what ever it was ...
