Our Assessment: In 1968 Winchester made the Illinois Sesquicentennial Commemorative Model 1894 in a saddle ring carbine and made 37,468. This commemorative model features an engraved receiver, an round barrel, gold accented markings, a saddle ring, and a smooth Walnut stock set with an Illinois 150 Years of Progress Sesquicentennial medallion inlaid in the right side of the buttstock. We have no doubt that this Commemorative Model 94 saddle ring carbine would be an excellent shooter and fun range/farm toy for someone who enjoys the classics but with so few made this is an excellent pickup for residents of the Land of Lincoln. This rifle is in about Very Good condition with 90% of its metal finish remaining, a good bore and strong mechanics. Please see our photos and good luck!
