I've got a 1963 32 Win that's super nice I paid $1100 for. But the only marks on it are a little bluing wear on one side of the barrel band. Guy that did the FFL is a Winchester collector and said I did very well on that one. I saw a 40s model 30 WCF on a rack in Texas with $500 on it. But it was well loved, not abused, just patina in all the right places. I was tempted to buy that one.
