The smell of steak raced through the air and used my nose as a finish line.
Polyurethane, is sprayed on lightly at first then dried and sanded between coats with 800 to 1000 grit sandpaper then buffed to a shine.Older guitars used a nitrocelluose coating that in vintage guitars sometimes cracked and yellowed with age.
Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
I talked with a very experienced luthier, and he said he would be able to put a clear coat of catalyzed acrylic urethane, but it would probably not protect against fading mostly due to UV light. He recommended talking with a photography studio that specializes in vintage restoration/preservation. Overall, it depends on the finish of the guitar and the type of marker used as different chemicals in the ink react differently with types of finish. Hope this helps!
Savage used a varnish finish on their stocks during the 1950,s.

Do an Internet search for Winchester Stock Oil by John Kay. He was a master restorer of old Winchesters and developed a finish like Winchester used before the 1940s. It is 100% linseed oil based, as were the original finishes, with a tint to give the Red-Brown Winchester color.
10-1000 USD based on condition, finish, box, papers, accessories, etc..

Winchester Cathedral is a working (functioning) cathedral of the Church of England.
The original deep blued finish was swapped out for a cheaper metal finish on post 64's. Winchester also used stamped steel and cheaper parts for the 94's so that production costs would remain low enough for average hunters. Pre 64's are excellent, but for deer hunting etc post 64's are still good firearms.
