Thanks for helping, a friend suggested this site for all the knowledge y'all have. I am thinking about selling a couple of my dads lever guns to help fund a over under for my daughter.
1) 1970 444 with a 526** serial number. I would say 95% + with light safe marks and has less than 20 rounds through it.
2) 1972 zane grey 30-30 with zg 086** number same condition with very little pitting on the lever and 25 rounds down. I know that since I got in trouble for shooting his virgin gun:)
3) 336 in 44 mag ab342** number 90% same stock condition and light pitting on barrel and blue wearing on lever. Unknown round count.
I will try to attach pictures and thanks again

Re: Looking for values for 3 guns
Pitting will take a gun down quite a bit in value, regardless of what level of condition the gun is. So a "minty" gun with pitting is really not minty anymore. Or a 90% gun with pitting truly isn't 90%. Will wait for pictures, and hope they have close ups of the pitting in the pictures, as otherwise determining value will be impossible.
