The Nanaimo Military Museum has a small display including a Win 94 in honor of the PCMR...the museum is worth a visit btw.

Finally landed my PCMR, and she's not on your list: 1337560.

I'd love to get my mitts on a cap badge, papers or armband to go with her! An under appreciated bit of BC history!

Hello
Does anyone know what the approximate value of one of these Winchesters might be ? It is as nice as the best one shown on this thread and maybe coming up for sale.
Thanks in advance for your time.

I noticed that Lever Arms has a 94 Winchester for sale without broad arrow markings. They are asking $2000 for it.

A really rough one...like $600-$650. These were used and carried and had a long career of use after the war behind them too.
Most are in this condition. People who live in BC and go to small gun shows and stores sometimes find them for less.

The odd one is really clean, has sling band, swivels, clean C Broad Arrows on the wood, nice bluing without much wear etc etc.

These can be asking from $800-$1500. I've seen them sell at the higher range, although I have no idea how much they actually went for.
As usual, depends on how badly someone wants it.

Typically in collecting, price increases geometrically with condition. Collectors always want the best specimens they can find.

Being a piece of Canadian history, these have an undeniable appeal.

My 94 is on this list. Coincidentally the date corresponding is the same as my birthday, except 17 years early.

Pretty cool post on the PCMR, the (CFB) Esquimalt Naval & Military Museum has a newly expanded area all focused on infantry, one whole room dedicated to the PPCLI.

Didn't someone make new barrel bands for the 94's?

My uncle was a school teacher and a member of the militia. I recall seeing him clean and oil his M94.

When he passed it went to a family friend.

His was in mint condition.

I have two of the 94's with provenance. Bought them from a known collector.

The one has the receipt and the guys discharge papers.

The other is in the box and named to LCol Cootes.

I have a beautiful 94 which was my.great granfather from syney's rifle during the war. No barrel band and looks like one was never installed, no front sight hood. I know he hunted with it but the blueing is near mint and some marks on the stock. Serial.number 1337019
