Hi, my friend wants to sell this. It was her deceased husband's. How much should she expect to get for this?

Original is a very general term when describing Red Ryders,there are a number of variants.The most sought after is the First variant produced with copper bands.If you have a pic. or can describe the gun and condition it would help.

Sometimes silence is golden,sometimes it's not.

I have the first BB rifle dad ever got me. It was given to me on my 8th birthday, 1950, I was 8 years old. Still have a few old photos of me in back yard shooting it. Mom & Dad had a Ceder chest, and everything went in there which they thought me may want in years. When they passed away, I was given the ceder chest, which helt my first Red Ryder, in the box it came in. Along with a Model 25 pump, which I got in 1955, having to give my now 8 year old brother my Red Ryder. As for what they are worth, PRICELESS, and will be left to one of my grandchildren when I go. There's no amount one can place on an old BB rifle, it is all up to the one who has it, and what it means to them. If it is old, good shape, Keep It.
