I'm not sure what you mean by those x's, but both Model 1894's appear to be what are known as 'first models'. The distinguishing feature of first model 1894's is the screw head just to the upper left of the loading gate. Your photos are not very sharp, though, so I could be mistaken about seeing a screw head there. For a better photo of a first model receiver, see
www.winchestercollector.org/forum/viewtopic.phpt=2739&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30 . First model 1894's command a premium in the collector's market if they have not been messed with (re-finished, re-blued, sanded, re-barreled). If they've been messed with, then their value plummets substantially. Madis' dates for manufacture for the model 1894 are incorrect. Some 3-digit serial numbers were received in the warehouse in 1895, but most were 1894 guns. I don't know for sure when the first 30-30 came off the line. Most Model 1894's with serial numbers greater than #1368 were built in 1895 or later. I could not put a value on those two 1894's, but they would be nice to have.
If the Model 1886 is all original and hasn't been messed with, then judging from that photo, I'd put a value of around $2,500 on it. Further details may raise that up or down. There are very few honest '86s for sale here in Canada. An awful lot have gone to the USA up to and including recent months when the Canadian dollar fell into the low 80's of cents against the US dollar. A dealer told me of a particular shipment he knew of that went south last winter, and when I heard the number of old Winchesters in that shipment, my jaw hit the floor. A terrible loss for Canada. Anyway, all this to say that my estimate of $2,500 is my opinion based on having bought and sold a few over the past couple years.
