a little disappointed.....

and next to my 107 year old model 1894:

You have a very rare Winchester carbine - heck pre 20s are hard to find and yours is 'pre teen'.

It was the first gun I ever bought for myself. Back in the ‘80s it cost me the same as a brand new one was going for, but even at 18 I guess I was interested in history. The fact that the 1980s version is worthless now, and mine is worth between $1000 and $2500 depending on who you ask makes me smile! I bought a box of Leverevolution to run through it as I don’t shoot it often these days.
