Professional appraisal
the Marlin model 1894 rifle was made from 1894-1934 in the caliber that you have listed.The latter model rifles were marked model 94 as in your question.These will range in price from 250-750 dollars for rifles or carbines showing between 10%-50% of there original finish and a good bore.You may add 25% if it is a saddle ring carbine model.add 40% for a baby carbine with 18in barrel and a half magazine.I can say for certain that your rifle was not made in 1883,and was probably made after 1915 due to the marking model 94.
10-1000 USD or more depending on specifics
These fine made older Marlin rifles such as yours can have a considerable value.The Marlin model 94 was made from 1894-1934,so we can rule out the year 1883.If you would include a serial number,we may be able to pin down the year of manufacture.The value of your rifle can range in price from a minimum of 400 dollars,up to 3,000 dollars depending on the amount of original finish remaining on the rifles wood and metal.10% would reflect the 400 dollar price,and 80% would be the 3,000 dollars price.If you have a saddle ring carbine add 25% to the above listed price.You can already add 10% because you have it chambered in 44-40Win.If you have a baby carbine(18inch barrel,and half magazine) you can add another 40% to the above stated values.i would have your rifle appraised by a pro collector of Early Marlin rifles.
