Ok, glad I asked, I have no clue the value of a standard 1894, and I surely don’t know the value of this particular gun. I have recently become interested in these old lever actions. I only have two old levers actions, and I am always looking for good deals when I can find them. I appreciate the info you provided, I am trying to learn more on the subject, and I appreciate all of the knowledge these forums provide. Let me ask this, if you were bidding on that gun, what would be the most you would bid on it?

Frankly, I would not bid on the gun at all. I recommend staying under $1,500. The stocks are harshly sanded and refinished, the rear sight is a replacement, the recoil pad is aftermarket (and in horrible condition). It will be a money pit trying to bring it back to some semblance of looking like it should.

Thank you for the advice, I bid it up to 950 and that is high as I am going, thank you for the insight and expertise. I got a couple old lever actions, one is a Winchester model 94, .32 WS manufactured in 1932. It has a very old customization on it that I know retracts from the value, but I bought it because I liked it. The other gun is an old Marlin Safety model 1892. Thanks for your knowledge, and the forum is really helpful to me on learning about these old guns.
