I bought a John Wayne commemorative 1894 Win. that was put out in 1981. I wanted to buy it back than but couldn't afford it.

Very nice. I bought the 100 Aniversary John Wayne 1892 .44-40 and it is sweet, but I couldn't resist the 94 that you have there, so I bought it also. They are probably the two best of the Commemorative Series Winchesters. Good choice, it is a very pretty rifle.
Very very nice....I have an original 1894 in 32-40 made in 1894 and features a 30 inch octagon barrel. I love the John Wayne models.....hard to find 32-40 ammo though.
