The dates of the Model 1894's are off pretty badly for the end of the 1800's and the early 1900's. New stuff has not been published yet, but you can get a rough idea by checking out the thread at http://www.winchestercollector.org/foru ... 14e8dafc56

Kirk: An old geezer who loves the smell of freshly turned earth, old cedar rail fences, wood smoke, a crackling fireplace on a snowy evening, pristine wilderness lakes, the scent of
cedars and a magnificent Whitetail buck framed in the semi-buckhorn sights of a 120-year old Winchester.
