doc, I might be able to help. But I do have some questions to help narrow down the specific variant of the Winchester Model 1894 you have.

Caliber - The .30-30 Win. (a.k.a. 30 WCF) is the most popular but other calibers have been offered. What caliber is your Model 1894 chambered in?

Barrel - Length & shape. Those with 20" barrels are most common. But lengths have ranged from 14"-26" over the years. What is the length of the barrel on your Model 1894? Does it have a round or octagon barrel?

Finish - Did it have a full blued finish or did some areas (hammer, lever, trigger, buttplate) have a casehardened finish?

Saddle Ring - Does the left side of the receiver have a saddle ring mounted on it?

Markings - What exactly are all the markings/nomenclature stamped into the receiver & barrel?

Answering these questions will definitely help to identify exactly which versions of the Model 1894 you have. If you can email a picture that would help too. My email address is srmace@msn.com. All of this information will be extremely helpful in determining an appropriate value. Hope I can help!
