my model 94 winchester

i would like to know what year my model 94 winchester was made model 94-30 wcf serial # 1528833

your winchester md 94 was made in 1948 and current value would be in the 350 good-600 excellent range at auction or to a collector in original unaltered condition ,,this means without a scope,,or refinished ,,lots of times these older md 94's were drilled and tapped for scopes and any time the rifle is altered from outa the box configurations the price to a collector is drasticly lowered and it becomes a hunting rifle instead of a collectors item ,,, values will be what someone will pay for a good old hunting rifle,,usually about half of the collector value.. ,,dealers will proably offer in the 175-250 range for original guns with original finishes,,lots of people beleive "if i make it pretty the prices go up" ...exactly oppisite ,,a collector and even a dealer will pay more for original finish and configuration guns.. than pretty or altered guns !
