SELLING AS A PAIR A WINCHESTER MODEL 1902 IN 22 AND A WINCHESTER MODEL 36 SHOTGUN IN 9MM
Winchester Model 1902 is a historic, single-shot, bolt-action .22 caliber rifle produced from 1902 to 1931, primarily marketed as a boy's rifle to introduce youth to shooting sports. It is an improved variation of the earlier Model 1900, featuring a butt plate and a more developed trigger guard.
Winchester Model 36 is a vintage, single-shot, bolt-action shotgun chambered for the 9mm rimfire shotshell, produced from 1920 to 1927. It was marketed as a "garden gun" for close-range pest control.

Value and Collectibility

- Value: In very good to excellent condition, these shotguns generally range in value from $400 to over $2,000, depending on condition and originality. Specimens in mint condition can fetch considerably higher prices.
- Ammunition: The 9mm rimfire shotshells were a specialty item even when the gun was new. Fiocchi is one manufacturer that still offers 9mm RF Flobert ammunition, which can be found through various online retailers.
