Model 1894 question

[CEMENTHEAD]

Looked at a Winchester Model 1894 today at the local candy store. It has approximate 20"barrel, 38-55 chambering, button magazine, pinned front sight, curved butt plate, graduated rear sight and a tang sight. The muzzle was worn at least 1/2" down, strong rifling otherwise. blued finish was about 50-60%, some minor rusting with no pitting. The wood was refinished, A LONG time ago and needs restoring again. Action was fairly tight and serviceable.

.................the price you say?

A MEASLY $2800.00

I said thank you and handed it back. Thanks, but no thanks. I thought it was a nice piece, but not for that price.

He wouldn't let me take pictures.

Serial range 185,XXX

What say you?

I think our local (RI) candystore owners have been into the nose candy...................................

I was looking at a similar example here locally just last year, with the SN area overstamped with "WRA Co", that the asking was North of $5K.....

OHHH, the "WRA Co" overstamp is where the serial # is, OK got it now. They're not the same gun.
