    38 wcf is a .38-40.

    It should be a "Model 1892", and it was manufactured in the year 1894 (making it a bonafide "Antique" per federal regulations). As Pearyw pointed out, 38 W.C.F. (Winchester Center Fire) is the original designation for the 38-40 cartridge.

    The 24-inch octagon barrel tells us that it is a standard Sporting Rifle. In order to give you a reasonably accurate value assessment, I will need to see clear (well lit) pictures of it. You can either post them here, or send them to me at Win1885@msn.com
