Sorry but i don't think a "six" digit serial number is pre 1900..
The Winchester Model 1894 passed the 100,000 mark in 1897.

Before you open the reply, though, have the EMT's on standby.
A "true to factory letter" restoration is very doable, but it will likely cost more than the rifle is worth unless it is an uncommon rifle. We are currently restoring a rifle that lettered from the factory as very unusual, and it will be worth in excess of $10,000 when done. Most Model 1894s are restored for sentimental reasons or to have a "factory-new" rifle, and not for increasing value.
