Greetings all,

I recently acquired a Winchester 1894 and was curious what it is I have, as I know nothing about these rifles. I did not give a whole lot for it. It says on the tang by the stock Model 1894 Winchester Trade Mark. It says 32-40 on the barrel (assuming that is the caliber), has some proof marks, and further up the barrel are Manufacturered by Winchester, etc etc. Serial No is 335,xxx and there is a 26 stamped in front of the trigger. Overall it's in real good shape. No rust or putting, and has a hexagonal barrel. Any idea what this rifle is worth? Any information is greatly appreciated.

ETA: Will post photos when I can take some.

PICTURES!

Some photo's would help.......

I have onesimiliar to yours but about 100,000 earlier, made at the turn of the last century. It is in excellent condition with original sights and a pristine bore. I gave a little over $1500 for it a few years ago.  If you shoot it you will find that if the bore is good, 32-40 is extremely accurate.  Ammo can be hard to come by unless you reload. To find out what the market is, look at the online auction sites on guns that have sold.

Some info from the BlueBook.
