Oops. I just downloaded the pictures I took on my cell phone to my computer, and expanded them up.
It appears to me that the wood has been refinished, beautifully done, but refinished nonetheless. It looks totally natural, and flows nicely.
So, please take this into account in any advice you give.
Maybe now it has zero collector value, and is just a really nice shooter? (But, given that the brand new 94 junk that Winchester is now cranking out, with 26 inch barrels, goes for around $1,000, maybe still a good buy?)
Thanks,
