How old is my 870? What is it's value?

Post by JimR »

Have an 870 Wingmaster
SN = 25234V
left side of barrel has kww
right side has an oval with R.E.P. inside and a clover next to it.
It's marked mod which I think is the choke
Plane wood stock and ribbed wood pump

Any help would be appreciated, I would like to sell it.

Thanks

Should be May 1950 if the barrel is original, and with that serial number it sure sounds like it. You might get from For value, condition is everything. Some people get excited about a first year model, but there have been over 10 million since then so folks willing to pay extra are limited.
What could have happened... did.

Thanks for the confirmation!
The status for the gun is average not pristine.
I'm not looking to make a fortune but don't need two guns.
