According to your Winchester 1894 thread http://forums.GunBroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=245213, the last Model 1894 made in that year was serial #1674.
Ironically, it's for sale on the auction side: http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=338175100
I just thought you might be interested in seeing it.

Thanks [:)]
instead of relining it. Machined down a Marlin barrel, dovetailed it,
etc. It has a serial # 190997. Believe it had a oct. barrel before.
A fairly beat gun but useable. Was it a 1890? Also have a '06 Winc.
# 726201 in good shooting condition which I use continually. Are any
barrels (original) left for the older one, even in poor condition?
Would like to restore the old one back near original even with relining.
Two questions:
I've never owned or used a external adjustment scope like this, anything I need to know about adjustments, maintenance, etc?
What is the working chamber pressure for this rifle?
( Still waiting on those pet loads [:)] )

Bert,
Could you please give me the manufacture dates on these Winchesters.
Thank you,
Robert Reeves
What is involved with that.[?] I am asking because i have one that i think could be 7th calvary.
Local dealer has one that i would say is in 60%+ condition. No rust or pitting, But a lot of blue wear around the reciever. Serial dates it 1955.
He wants around 500 for it. Is this a good deal.
He is like talking to a live Winchester encyclopedia. I learned more in the brief time we had together about 1885's than I have in my entire life. What a fine gentleman, and so willing to share his hard earned knowledge with others.
My hat is off to him and the other experts who contribute to this terrific site. I learn something every time I log on to it.
Keep up the great work!!!

Sorry I couldn't get over to your table at the Gun Show due to a last hour flurry of business.
Looking forward to getting a copy of your Winchester book with great anticipation.

12 guage worth?
bert im guessing you are awinchester man.
If the info in this auction is true, then why is this gun not in a museum somewhere?
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=82828130
Because it is not provable (no provenance). The Madis letter (and I read it more than two years ago when this gun was first listed) is pure fluff (and not worth the paper it is written on in my opinion). The other big problem with the gun is the sanding, refinish, and non-original parts. The fellow that owns it is mighty proud of it, but it will be at least another 10-12 years before he sells it at his current asking price. Even though the Model 1879 is relatively rare, most diehard Winchester collectors are not interested in them because they were not manufactured in New Haven (English made). I can buy (2) decent Winchester Model 21s for that much money[:0].
