Upadated answer: Winchester actually manufactured 53,738 Model 94s in the year 1941. Winchester produced 48,883 model 1894 rifles in 1941.
The original butt plate and stock on pre-serial number 1500000 early model 94s were crescent-shaped. This style was common on Winchester Model 1894 rifles manufactured during that time period.
You have too many digits in the serial number... Winchester did not make 19-million+ Model 94s.
No, there are some where the first digit looks like an 'L' but it is a '1'.
Updated Answer: 2,600,011AnswerNot sure of the total number but you can check serial numbers up to 5,103,249...which was made after 1982.
value of Winchester 94Your Winchester was made in 1952. There was 90200 94s made that year. Value depends on several things such as condition, options, and caliber. Without knowing what they are it is hard to put a value on your rifle.
1953, and in addition to the year of manufacture, it tells you that 2000992 other Model 94s wer made prior to it.
If that is the complete serial number, yours is a VERY early Model 1894, and would have been made during 1896. There is a STRONG collector interest in very early Model 94s.
Yes, it can. The Winchester Model 1894/94s manufactured from 1895 through 2006 can all safely handle modern manufactured 30-30 ammo.

Winchester did not make a commemorative "Michigan law enforcement" Model 94. What you have is a special edition gun that was made by Winchester, but embellished by someon else. This was a very common practice with the Model 94. Cheverolet and Dodge, and Coca Cola did the same thing in the early 1980s. Special edition Winchester Model 94s essentially have the same value as a "plain Jane" Modle 94 of the same manufacture era.
Unfortunately, the answer is very little (relatively speaking). Most 1964 vintage Model 94s are lucky to see the $100 mark. The year 1964 was the darkest moment in time for the Model 94, as Winchester completely changed the old tried and true manufacturing methods, and the end result was a cheap piece of junk.
