Go to the Browning website, look under Customer Service. You will need the serial number, not a patent number.
Your Winchester Model 1873 of .38-40 caliber was manufactured in 1889. Depending on the exact conditon, barrel type (rifle, musket, carbine) and lack or presence of special features, you can expect the value to be between $750 - $14000. You can post pictures and barrel information at AntiqueGunCorner.com to get a more precise value for your firearm.
Numbers can be the serial number, the caliber, the model number or the patent dates. Can you be a little more specific??
