Fella close by posted this rifle and I was curious what you all think?  When it comes to the 94 is there much of a rule of thumb to follow when placing value on the categories pre-64, pre-war, etc. so basically what years in these ranges are more collectible?  Thank you!

The front sight appears to be missing in the photo.  Some additional photos and a serial number would be helpful in assessing the condition/value.  I would put it in the $600.00 range without better information, not that I am an expert.

The answer to your question is discussed and clearly laid out in Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 in my reference book “The RED BOOK of WINCHESTER Values” (available through the WACA bookstore).  I highly recommend that you purchase a copy and carefully read through it.

For a model produced in the millions, the older the better.  Personally, I draw the line at the “Model 1894” upper tang marking; when that was changed to “94,” & still later, the marking on this gun, it becomes for me more a “modern gun” than a collectable.  No doubt that’s a minority opinion, as others will probably tell you.

Appreciate the responses gentleman.  I do have the red book, and as mentioned in chapter one, “grading condition…can be the most challenging part of collecting”…so I really appreciate the opportunity this forum provides to ask the experts.  I had been told that within categories there was some further influence on value based on how many were produced that year, but I guess that’s the whole idea behind the blocks of time represented in the red book columns…sorry, I can be a slow learner sometimes, but that’s why I ask a lot of questions.
