Wondering about the value of Winchester trench guns. one is a parkerized made in 1942. possibly U. S. Navy firearm due the markings on the stock. Is 100percemt correct. The other is also 1942 dated. It is blue also 100 percent correct. Has two small scratches on the left side reciever. I am 75percent computer illiterate and do not know how to post pictures. The parkerized firearm I would rate at about 85%and the other blue 97 is about 95%. Any comments will be greatly appreciated. I need to establish realistic value to these items due to the fact I may be selling these and other items.

First of all, the parkerized M97 is 0% correct.
As to the rest, you need to post pics.
You statement that the guns are "correct" is obviously INCORRECT, therefore we can not give any advice without detailed pictures. -
Are they break down or solid frame?? Would be helpful in helping..

Vernon,
It might help if you could provide the serial numbers or at least the first three digits followed by XXX. You also mentioned stock markings that made you think they were possibly Navy issue. Can you describe them?
Also, SCOSGT is correct that we would be much better able to help with pictures. If you can email me your pictures at rick.tubb@verizon.net I should be able to post them for you.Comment
