	This gun has come up at a local auction, I inquired about other marks and barrel length - they advised barrel is 22", the following appears on the receiver "USA Patent April 17/94" and the number 38 is stamped "by break open lever" I am attaching a couple pictures they provided. Assuming it's in decent condition what would be the value? Retreever

	The rifle appears to have been completely if nicely refinished, the rear sight may be a replacement, the raised screws on the tang are hopefully only what's left of a missing period tang sight, and we know nothing about the bore of what I presume is a .32 Long RF chambering. Under those assumptions and not having been able to actually see the gun, I'd say $400-$450 is the most I'd consider paying. Bill Lawrence

	It does have the less-than-common lock ring setup that was used for a while to take up wear in the lever/breechblock linkage. Somebody collecting the Favorite variants (and desperate to “Collect Them ALL!”) might pay a premium for this version if they don’t have one, as it’s in pretty nice external shape. I’ve seen routine Favorites in good condition going (and going) for $250 or so. Original finish raises the price maybe $100-150 more. It none of them are real hot sellers at those asking prices.
