Sean,
The “X” suffix on the serial number indicates that it is a duplicate serial number… what is the serial number on your Model 94?
The reason you cannot find information for S/N 4190054 is because it is not a Pre-1964 production Model 94. The DOM information available on the WACA website is specific to the Winchester firearms that were manufactured in the pre-1964 (collectable) time period.

Thank you for the info
Are you sure about the serial number? It should have 7 numerals plus the “X”.

Yes that is the serial # 158777X
Can you send me (email) a picture of the serial number and the upper tang directly behind the hammer?

Sean,
The serial number on your Winchester is way too early for it to have an “X” on it. Specifically, S/N 158777 was manufactured in October of 1902, and Winchester did not begin the practice of hand stamping the “X” on the end of the serial numbers until WW II. Thus far, I have documented a total of (63) Model 94s with the “X” marking, all of them in the 1.2-million+ serial range.
It would help to see all of the factory markings on your Winchester to determine what may have transpired with it and determine more closely when it was manufactured.
