Your Winchester model 1894 rifle was made in the year 1898 with the serial number that you have supplied.The value can not be determined without a much more detailed description of your rifles overall condition,to include the amount of original finish remaining on the wood and metal.The caliber,and any special order features such as a special wood,checkered wood,shotgun style butt stock,half magazine,special barrel length,etc.will all have a bearing on the value of your rifle.Is it a takedown model?This will also effect the value.I always advise owners of these early Winchester model 1894 rifles to have them evaluated by a member of the Winchester collectors assoc,to get a accurate value for their rifle.
You must provide the serial number.
