Good afternoon. I know it is difficult to value an item without clear photos but am hoping someone can make an approximate estimate on a model 1894 full mag rifle, calibre 30 WCF, serial 1120xx. The vender has provided the following description:
A pre-1900 ´94 in exceptional original condition, with original 3 leaf express rear sight and Lyman ivory bead front sight. Guaranteed original blue to metal work, 85% barrel blue and about the same for receiver. Mag tube and end cap around 75%. Wood genuine and untouched. Bore is v good, no rust marks and absolutely no pittings.
Thank you, Ross.

Ross,
The partial serial number indicates that it is a post-1899 production rifle (1901).
If it is a standard Sporting Rifle, and is all original with 85% of the bluing still on the receiver, it could easily be worth $2,000+
