Value of Winchester Model 94 - 32 WS (made in 1949) ??



Can you tell me what the value of a Winchester Model 94 - 32 WS would be ? Serial # 1502511 - looked up the serial # and it shows it was manufactured in 1949. Good to very good condition.

Thanks

Grading .....100% ....98% ....95% ....90% ....80% ....70% ....60%
.....................N/A ...$1,950 .$1,675. $1,350 .$1,150 .$925 .$850

....$675 ....$575 ....$500 ....$425 .....$350

Add 20% for takedown variation.
Add 50%-75% for deluxe models, depending on original condition.
Add 40% for 1894-1898 antique mfg. (pre-148,000 ser. no.).
Add approx. 25% for cals. other than .30-30 Win. or .32 Spl.
The Model 1894 Winchester has the distinction of being the world's most popular rifle. Deluxe models will command substantial premiums on models listed. Source(s): 27th Edition Blue Book of Gun Values
It really all depends on condition and a few percentage points can be quite a difference in dollars. A good working gun with 50% blue coverage and no pitting and good barrel in 32 will sell for 350+ while a 98% specimin could fetch closer to 8-900. 32 is probably one of the least desirable calibres and will hurt sale price somewhat but the pre 64' winchesters are desirable to a collector as well as the shooter.
I paid $300. for a .30-30 1894 Winchester made in 1949. The .32 is more unusual so I'd guess (without seeing it) three to four hundred.
