You have refered to the firearm as a Mod 94, I will assume the the barrel markings is "MODEL 1894" and not "MODEL 94" as this would imply a manufacturing date after the mid 1920's. Are you sure that the tang sight is original, as this would add the the value if it is. A plain Jane Saddle Ring Carbine fron that era in "new in box" condition could bring upwards $2000 if you find the right collector. A well worn one with little or none of its original finish left $350 to $400. These values assume the gun is in good working condition. Extras such as checkering, engraving, or high grade wood can add quite a bit to its value. Concerning the compass, in spite of the fact that in that era Winchester was much more agreeable to special orders or modifications I'm suspicious that that compass inletted into the stock is not original. If I'm correct it would detract considerable fron a high grade firearms value.
To add to this conversation, I am in possession of a Model 1894 carbine manufactured in the '20s as well. My rifle also has the 1/2" brass compass inset into the stock on the right side. Based on this coincidence, I am inclined to believe that this a factory option and not a user added feature.
They were made from 1939 until 1962. There is a 3 digit code on the left side of the barrel just in front of the receiver. The first two letters indicate the date of manufacture. You need to look at a barrel code list and match them up.
The water table on a firearm is typically located on the receiver or barrel. It is an area where various markings, such as proof marks, serial numbers, or manufacturer information, are stamped for identification and traceability purposes.
An M16A4 typically has around 96 different parts. These parts include the upper receiver, lower receiver, barrel, bolt carrier group, handguard, and various internal components like springs, pins, and detents.
The age of a shotgun can be determined by referencing the serial number with the manufacturer's records. In this case, the Winchester Model 12 shotgun with serial number 705000 was manufactured in the early 1940s. To determine the specific model, examine the markings on the shotgun such as the barrel roll markings or receiver stampings, which will indicate the model variation.

look on top of receiver, just behind barrel and you will see manufactured date
Probably HD Folsom
Yes
look on top of receiver, just behind the barrel. That is the year made...........
Manufactured between 1886 and 1916.
On my 1950s vintage Ithaca Model 37 16 gauge it is on the right side of the end of the receiver where the magazine tube and barrel go into the receiver, and also on the barrel adjacent to the number on the receiver. The numbers should be the same on both the barrel and receiver unless the barrel is not the original barrel, at least on mine they are.
They are date code stamped on the barrel on left side in front of receiver. A barrel location diagram and the date code table (month/year) is available on the Remington Society of America.

Check the receiver and barrel

If there are no markings on the barrel or receiver, look where the gun opens. The flat is the water table & there is often information there. Also, look at the barrel flats, the part of the barrels that touch the water table & the lug which locks the barrels to the receiver. If there is no data there, it just a field gun with only shooting value if it was made to shoot smokeless powder. If the gun is not a breakup but a pump or semi-auto,
The serial number is on the passenger side of the receiver, just rear of the barrel. If there is no serial number your cooey was manufactured before 1968, when no s.n. was required.
