I have a Win 1894 25-35 SRC ser# 1007269 need dom and also this gun has been professionaly refinished lettering is crisp and wood to metal fit is perfect how bad does this hurt the value it is a beauty to look at. Would send pictures but I do not have the capability to do so. Second question is I have a Winchester SXS model 24 ser# 2664 could you tell me when its birthdate is also. I started with 2 questions but have a third there is a Win. 25-35 on the gunbroker and the seller said that only 1.9% of all Win. 94's produced were in the 25-35 caliber is this correct? Any info is appreciated. Terrill

    Production ratios for the first 353,999 Model 1894s made:

    4:5 (78.19%) were Rifles (276,780)
    1:5 (21.20%) were Saddle Ring Carbines (75,075)

    1:2 (45.92%) was a 30 W.C.F. (162,568)
    1:5 (22.80%) was a 38-55 (80,734)
    1:9 (11.31%) was a 32-40 (40,023)
    1:9 (10.45%) was a 25-35 W.C.F. (36,999)
    1:11 (8.77%) was a 32 W.S. (31,050)

    The value is significantly reduced as a result of the refinish, at least a 75% reduction.

    The seller of that 25-35 is making up numbers.

    Based on my own research, approximately 5% of all the pre-1964 production (2.6-million) Model 94s were made in 25-35, or in plain numbers, approximately 133,000 total.
