Typically, that would be a standard carbine. However, there are still possibilities of other special order features that will greatly affect the price. We can ASSUME it is a standard carbine, but you need to understand that originality and condition are the big factors in determining worth. A 90% gun would be worth $750 while a 40% gun might bring $350. A 95%-98% gun would be close to $1000. A refinished or altered gun would bring $250. sales@countrygunsmith.net

I can say that A Winchester model 1894 lever action rifle 26in barrel was priced at 19.50 in Winchester's June,1896 Catalog. A carbine with the 20in barrel was priced at 17.50, a round barreled 26in rifle was 18.00 dollars, and the take down model was priced at 25.00 dollars. I can add that the Sears catalog from 1900 (reprint) lists the round or octagonal barreled 30 WCF for $14.75.
In this model of Winchester rifle,there is no difference in value between the round or octagon barrel.
In the condition you describe,your Winchester carbine is valued at 995 dollars(US currency).
100-1000 USD or more depending on specifics.
$100 - $200. Its only real value is what someone is willing to pay for it to use as a hunting firearm. The year 1963 was the last of the "collectable" era Wincehster Model 94s.
It is a Model 1886 Sporting Rifle. The serail number you listed is one digit too many (Winchester only manufactured 160,000 Model 1886 rifles and carbines total). The "1884" date you found is the patent date assigned to the inventor John M. Browning.
your model 1894 was made in 1976,as for the hand drawn numbers under the lever it could be that the previous owner put his ssn on the weapon in case it was ever stolen?

With the serial number that you provided,your Winchester model 1894 rifle was made in the year 1908.These early model 1894 rifles can bring in excess of 1,000 dollars depending on the amount of original finish remaining,and a good bore.If your rifle has some of the special features that could be ordered at that time(octagon barrel,half magazine,special wood,checkering at the wrist and for arm.half octagon half round barrel ETC.) this will enhance the value of your rifle.I would have your rifle appraised by a member of the Winchester collectors assoc.for a true value of your rifle.
To get a accurate value of your Winchester you will need to include the following information.The model number of your Winchester,the serial number(already included),the barrel length,type of barrel(round or octagon) the amount of finish remaining,and overall condition of the rifle including the bore.
