Well,my good friend stopped by again and showed me this 1894 Winchester in 38-55 ,in a "take down" model ....It has a Nickel steel barrel,25" long ...he stated the gun was manufactured in 1894 " 1st year of production" it has a shotgun butt,the rifling is great ....The gun is worn by time,about 50% bluing left,some marks and dings on the stock but no cracks .
He also stated that the rifle was not "lettered' it orginaly came through with a 32-20 barrel,and was sent back and the 38-55 barrel was installed .
The take down part of this rifle works great ....!
s/n is 47XX.

So what's it worth,as it may be going to the auctions

Thank-you Bigbird34
