I have two Model 94 Winchesters. One is serial number 1596xxx which was manufactured in 1949 and is marked '.30WCF.' The second is serial number 2086xxx and was manufactured in 1955. I cannot find a definitive date when Winchester switched from .30 WCF to .30/30 but I have seen, and once owned, more antique Winchesters makred '.30/30.' My hypotesis is that when production of Model 94s was resumed in earnest following WWII the .30WCF marking was used but changed to .30/30 in approximately 1954.

Is 30 wcf the same as 30-30?

No, .30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), also known as .30-30 Winchester, refers to the same cartridge, which is a popular rifle round primarily used for hunting. The designation "30-30" indicates the caliber (.30 inches) and the original charge of 30 grains of smokeless powder. While the terms can be used interchangeably, .30 WCF is the historical name, while .30-30 is the more commonly used modern term.

What is the date of manufacture and approximate value of a Winchester model 94 wcf 30 and diff between 30-30 and wcf 30?

When it was introduced, it was called .30 WCF (Thirty caliber Winchester Center Fire). At some point became 30-30. Value depends on condition. Around $ 300 would be somewhere in the ballpark. Marlin originally used 30-30 so they wouldn't have to put a Winchester "brand" on their rifles when manufactured in the caliber.

We need to know the model, possibly the serial number, and definitely the CONDITION to estimate a value. 30 WCF just tells us what ammunition to buy for it.
