I bought a Canadian Centennial carbine years back for $400 and liked it so much that when I turned 65 I got the rifle version with 26" barrel NIB for $600. Course now that Winchester is no longer making 1894 rifles (Made in Japan now) maybe prices will go up. Not holding my breath on that one. Bought them because I liked them not to collect. Frank
Well said Frank! Too many is correct. Plus the fact they were not period correct. Should have been made on the 1873 or 76 versions! Friend bought the Oliver Winchester Edition for around $600 in 38-55. Be lucky to get what he paid for it now.
