Ed. Thanks for fixing the photos! I tried the "img" thing but didn't show up here.

If you mean by "sear bar", "trigger bar plunger", then it has "22" stamped on it. It looks like an 8 in the photo.

The magazine has the number "5634" impression below the finish on the wood end of the mag.

Thanks for the estimate of the value. I want to take care of it and don't want to sell.

I know the finish is worn on the top. After taking it apart its amazing how close fitting the pieces are. The inside barrel seems ok but it is not super shinny like modern rifles. The wide groves in the rifling look like I need to clean better, especially around the breech. I want to try shooting it but was hoping to have a gunsmith inspect it first. One good gunsmith I knew about here is out of business.

JS. I'm near Harpers Ferry, WV. I'll post a foto of the magazine later.
