Trying to determine Model 8 value............

[Moparfrek]

Hello to all. I have a Remington Model 8 that I am considering selling. However, I am at a loss as to what it may be worth. Moderators, I do not know if this is the proper forum to ask such a question. Please forgive me if I am breaking any forum rulles.

I can describe the rifle as best I can. The rifle is fully engraved and has flip-up rear express sights and a very unique hooded flip-up front sight.

The stock has very fine checkering in a Fluer-de-lis pattern. Wood looks to French walnut? There is a brass or bronze medallion in the heel of the stock with some script that I cannot read.

The bore is mint, and the original blue is turning to patina in certain places. From what I have found on the Internet, I believe this rifle to be an "F" Grade, or a "Premier" Grade. Or perhaps a Grade "6". The serial range is 21,***.

I will try to post pictures.

Thank you!

ARG

While Bob is the "man" when it comes to high grade model 8's, we'd love for you to visit this site and share your info there as well.

That is a beautiful 8, and looks original to me, as well. But I am no expert.
