I picked this up today and can not find a single example of another on the net and I have searched for a while. It is a 94AE in 45 Colt with a 16″ barrel.

I just find it strange not to find any info. Any thoughts?  Ser.  6129016

Well for starters, it is not a true Winchester. Instead, it was manufactured by the U.S. Repeating Arms Company using the licensed Winchester trademark. The USRACo manufactured a substantial number of the 100-year centennials, and in numerous different configurations.

Interesting badge inlay in the stock. That’s one of the DUSM badges that I had made while I was working as a Deputy US Marshal in Washington, DC. The badges were made of Mexican 5 Peso coins by Haltom Jewelers, in Texas. I had several dozen of them made, and sold them to other Deputies and other law-enforcement officers who were badge collectors.

Thanks Jim. No wonder I couldn’t find anything on it. I guess someone had the badge cut into the stock. Glad to learn something about the badge. The wood in the stock looks to be a grade better than most late 94’s I’ve seen.
