The collector value can only be assessed by a visual inspection & evaluation. Old Winchesters are very much like old classic automobiles... the graded condition and factory originality are the key factors in determining what they are truly worth. Bert H.
I have an 1895 in 30-06 that has Redfield peep sights on it. The site is adjustable for range and windage. I know the sights were on it before 1960. I do not know if the came with the rifle because serial numbers indicate it was made in 1921 I have in my collection a reprinted catalog of Winchester repeating arms co.that was printed in June of 1896.This catalog shows no flip up sights offered from the factory at that time.(Rifle was new in 1895).My father in law has in his possession A Winchester model 1895 sporting rifle in 38-72Win caliber with a serial number that puts production in the year 1905.His rifle has a side mounted elevating peep sight that was added to the rifle in 1907.I do not believe that Winchester ever offered a flip up peep sight for this rifle.Redfield,Marbles and Lyman I believe were the 3 main suppliers of after market sights for the Model 1895 rifle.
The Winchester model 64 rifle in 30WCF caliber is a highly collectible Winchester rifle model. The gun was produced from the 1930s until the 1960s and came with factory iron sights and a wood stock.
That depends on the condition. For a standard rifle, the range runs: NIB Exc VG Good Fair Poor $3500 2000 1000 650 400 200 The .22 short model is somewhat less.
I am not aware of one on today's market.I have never heard of one for this model of rifle.

No. Iron sights or peep sights (aka aperature sights) are the only type allowed for the merit badge.
50-1000 USD or more depending on box, accessories, finish, sights, condition, papers, etc..
