The Model 1892 Winchester lever action rifle was made in .218 Bee, .25-20 WCF, .32-20 WCF, .38-40 WCF, and .44-40 WCF. (WCF is Winchester Center Fire). Godbear Tennessee
I can find serial numbers from 1 ~ 15110 on the model 53. They started in 1924 and #15110 was made "after 1940". Don't know how many were made in .44 cal.
Based on the information provided, it sounds like you have a Winchester Model 1894 rifle chambered in .44-40 WCF with a production date of 1893. The serial number indicates that it was manufactured in the same year. If there are indications that the rifle was returned to the factory for inspection or refurbishment, it may have an interesting history or modifications that were done by Winchester. It's always a good idea to get a professional appraisal to assess its value and any historical significance.
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.
The year of manufacture for serial number 548212 is 1910
1915.
No way of saying without a detailed description of your rifles amount of original finish remaining,type of barrel,any other special order features present,and the serial number to age your rifle.All these items have a bearing on the value of your Winchester.
I cannot date this Winchester without a serial number.The serial number also plays into the value of the rifle because there are 2 value,s based on the years of production along with many other factors.
600-750 dollars
please check your model number again,the Winchester model 97 was a shotgun and therefore not chambered in a rifle cartridge(44-40Win).
Anywhere from 200-1.300 dollars or more depending on overall condition,bore condition,and any special option features that are present which could have been ordered when the rifle was made.
No way to tell from the serial number. BTW, it was made in 1985. Caliber should be marked on the barrel. The 1892 was made in in .218 Bee, .25-20 WCF, .32-20 WCF, .38-40 WCF, and .44-40 WCF. (WCF stand for Winchester Center Fire).
