Need a value estimate on two Winchester 94's

Hello, I have two Winchester 94's that I would like to estimate the value of. If anybody could help I would greatly appreciate it:

1.) Winchester 94 Golden Spike Comm. new in box with papers.

2.) Winchester 94 (circa 1948-1949) in around 80% condition - some normal minor wear and aging but in pretty good shape mechanically.

Thanks for your help to any and all who can give me some idea of their worth...

Well, hello to yourself!

To figure out this puzzle, we are gonna need pictures. ...yeah, that's it: LOTS of pictures!

...and calibers, barrel length, and configurations of those flatirons.

yes, pictures for sure.

But if you want to know the actual going rates right now, go to the auction boards and do a search - only look at the ones with bids - those are the ones that show actual value or going rate. Gunbroker is a good source.

That's what I do and have done well - get what it's worth and they sell quick to boot.

AZHunter, welcome to the Forum. Hagler is correct, if you want a good guestimate, pictures are mandatory. Prices are somewhat in flux, as condition, area and rarity are really driving prices. In some areas, you can still find a good 94 for under $400, pre-64s range from $500-1100, and most commemoratives are going for between $400-$800, unless it's a JW in .32-40 which I've seen go above the $1500 mark on ocassion. Pics could refine those estimates.
