Approximate Value of a 1905 1894 30 W.C.F.
What can you tell me about approximate value of my 1905 Winchester 1994 30 W.C.F. I have had it for several years, but finally took some pictures today. SN 267639 Thank you in advance.

You need better pic's, but it looks to be at least a very nice shooter. Sign up on the auction side. Do a advanced search on completed auctions for "1894 30 W.C.F". Look at their pic's and compare to your rifle. To help figure out if yours has been refinished in the past look carefully at the marking. 0 -
Looks like a good solid shooter.. You start that at 1.00 on auction side, it will show interest. Wins always do and you will get what it's worth on that ending day. imo,, 0 -
I will try to answer your question...I looked thru the Winchester Red Book of Values and the auction side and you rifle is in the value range of $1700 to $2000. The red book lists the value higher but with an octagon barrel and round barrels have less value. The wood seems to be original and not refinished and there is still significant blue remaining on the rest of the metal except for the worn off blue on the barrel. It's hard for me to judge the percentage of wear on the gun and that reflects overall value, I'm leaning towards 50%.
The auction side lists Winchesters like yours in worse shape for $1700+, but usually they have no takers. Another rifle similar to yours is at $600 but still has six days to go.
thank you for your pictures, and if any body else weighs in my advice is not the final word.0 -
You asked, so I'll go out on a limb. I recently sold a lettered takedown in 30 WCF that was in similar condition, and IIRC, within a few years of that one. Mine brought almost $1300, so if I was to give a WAG, I'd guess it would bring $850-$1000. 94's seem to be slow now days, and you have a lot of competition too. Just my WAG, good luck on your sale.
