turned out to be a De Luxe Winchester lever action (either an 1873 or 1876, don't remember) rifle in .45-90 caliber in around 70 % condition.

Cannot be so. To be a .45-90 it would have to be an 1886. The largest thing the Model 1876 came in was the much shorter .45-75, and the Model 1873 was made for the much shorter .44-40 and .38-40 with the .32-20 being added in 1882.
As for the OP, I'd highly recommend buying and reading the books. The two-volume set
The Parker Story, the Larry Baer books and the Ed Muderlak books. Seek the advice of those here before money changes hands.
