first you need to rate it according to the NRA rating system. This is tricky and if you don't know what you are doing, take whatever condition you think it is in and lower it unless you know that it has hardly ever been used. It is rare to see one of those guns on the market in better than 90% condition they are almost always well below 80% condition. At that point you need to decide if you think you can sell it as a collecters piece which good luck, or as a nice shooter. Try to find one for sale in your area and price it off of that. I would be careful pricing stuff off of on-line sites unless you are willing to to go thru one of those sites, They sell world wide you are selling in your area, what they can get has no bearing on what you can get for it. Also it is important to remember the conditon is ORIGINAL condion. any gun that has been retreated, refinished, new blue, new parts, etc is below %50 conditon and is only being sold as a shooter. It does not matter if you can make it look like it did when it left the factory floor unless you are into selling fakes. If you honestly think it is 90% or better condtion then you stand a chance of getting $3000.00 or better for it. But like everything in life if nobody is willing to give you more than $400.00 for it then it is only worth what someone is willing to pay. So take the low price or hold onto the gun till inflation catches.
The collector value can only be assessed by a visual inspection & evaluation. Old Winchesters are very much like old classic automobiles... the graded condition and factory originality are the key factors in determining what they are truly worth. Bert H.
1000+ depending on condition and if you have the box/paperwork
Depending on its condition, a Winchester model 1901 10 gauge lever action shotgun could be worth around $2,0000. In lesser condition it is still worth $500-$800.

By bolt action, recoil, pump-action or lever action. A casing is hot after the bullet has been fired, so pulled back on a bolt will open the chamber and fling the casing out. Fully automatic and semi-auto guns fire with recoil. The blast from firing a bullet launches the hammer back and allows the casing to come flying out a hole in the side of the gun. Lever action works pretty much the same as bolt-action and was used before weapons could load in a new bullet. The lever would push out the old casing and put in a new bullet and casing in. Pump action works just the same as lever action, but was used because you could keep your eye on the target while pumping, instead of having to aim, shoot, move the lever and reaim, you could just aim, shoot, pump, and shoot again without having to look around for your target.
The Rifleman was the name of a television show that ran from 1958 to 1963. It was set on a ranch near North Fork, New Mexico. The actual filming places however were located through various parts of California.
The collector value of your Model 1894 can only be assessed by a visual inspection & evaluation. Old Winchesters are very much like old classic automobiles... the graded condition, the factory originality, and the specific configuration are the key factors in determining what they are truly worth.
