Answer
Jim,

I'm going to try my best to give you an answer, but you didn't provide me with much info to go on, so I am going to have to make a couple of assumptions...

First, it is likely that your rifle is a Winchester Model 94.  Since it carries the patent date of 1894 and is a .30-30 caliber (which is a pretty typical caliber for a model 94), I am going to guess that is what you have.  

Based on the serial number, it would appear that your gun was made in 1907.  There were several variations of this rifle that have specific characteristics.  There is no way I can determine which variation you have since I don't have any real detail about the rifle.  

In addition, you didn't say anything about the condition of the rifle.  Since I can't examine the rifle or see detailed photos, I can only give you a broad estimate of its value.  In 90% condition, you could expect something in the range of $2100-$2300.  In 80% condition, you'd be looking at $1700-$1800.  At 70%, $1300-$1500 and at 60%, maybe $1000 to $1100.

Some of the other versions command significant premiums.  It would be worth your time to have someone that really knows antique guns to have a look at it.  Some of the more special versions can have values in excess of $5000...

Thats about all I can tell you based on the info provided...I hope it helps.

Best regards,

Doug Little
