Good luck trying to sell an aluminum frame .50 when after you've put a couple hundred rounds through it.

I think the only reason he got away with it was because the gun was a revolver.

Please give me a sense of the relative values of the following:
1955 S&W Model 36 Chief's Special .38 w/ 3" barrel.
Winchester model 88 in .284 Win
Springfield Model 1898 no details as of yet.
Lady P's not-blood-relation uncle died and left all his stuff to her and her cousin. Cousin is interested in the pistol; I just want to make sure it's not a collector's item or something, because she's planning on shooting it. The other two will likely pass into my hands and I'm just looking for general info.

The 3" 36 pre-36 is as good as it gets. I'd put it's value at about $700-750 in real retail dollars.*stolen from a collector's blog*
Need a model # on the Winchester, it could be a model 88 or 100.
and caliber of the Springfield.

Really? I'll have to tell her so she doesn't leave it out in the rain or something. Is it the kind of gun you'd use, or is it the kind of gun you shelf carefully and someday sell to somebody like that blogger?
The Win is an 88 in .284.

Yup, that's it. Except for the six inch coat of old nasty grease that I suspect was applied when Johnny came marching home and tossed it in the corner.

The last pre-64 Model 88 was serial number 148,858.
A guns value depends greatly on condition...ballpark figures for the value of a Model 88 in 284 Win. in 95% condition would be about $900 for a post-64 rifle and about $2000 for the pre-64 as the 284 was only available in the pre-64 version for one year....The most noticable difference between the two would be the stock....The pre-64 stock had diamond cut checkering while the post -64 had the oak leaf impressed checkering.

Krag rifles are highly collectable IF in their original military configuration. Unfortunately, for many years they were simply considered 'surplus rifles' and the vast majority that survive have been sporterized for civilian use. Some of these were very well done by true craftsmen such as the Griffin & Howe firm, but most were amateur jobs involving cutting down the military stocks and so forth.
Typical NOT-sporterized 1898 Krag rifles can range from several hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars in value. Some very rare variants can attain $10,000 to the right buyer.

The prices on the m36's vary all over the place depending on condition and year mfg. For the most part far too many have been mfg. for it to be a true collectable.
The Win. will value out in the $1,700 range. The .284 was never popular and it's considered a rare chambering for that rifle.
The Springfield is more than likely a 30-40 Krag. It's a wall hanger of no particular value unless it's documented as to have been owned by someone of note.
