Model 8 minimal markings w/ pics

Post by Iowaarmory51248 »

I had a customer bring by a garage sale find (according to his wife that bought it as a BB gun) I know it is a Model 8 from the looks but it doesn't say so I have attached several photos as I an not an expert in this particular firearm. Google will only give so much and I know when to consult people smarter than myself. I have 16 photos of this firearm if more is needed. I will however limit my post to just the stamped portions. I am open to any info or ballpark values My best guess is this is from around November 1923?

Great garage sale find! The best way to date the rifle is to check out the link below...

Most Model 8's are worth in the $500-900 price range.

I looked again and there is nothing on the barrel right in front of the receiver on the left side. Only what looks like RP on the right side in that same location.
Serial # is 5 digits 35**1 can provide more if needed also.

The rifle was made in either 1914 or 1915, to know the exact year go back to that page I linked and compare the rifle's full serial number against the "last serial numbers for each year of production".
