Welcome to the forum hillybilly_04.I'm sure the Blue Book of gun values would have it in there.Norm Flayderman's Guide to antique American firearms and their values 8th edition is bound to have it listed. I don't have either one of these books so I can't help you there.I'm assuming this is an Original Winchester. I would have it appraised by a competitent apprasier. Some of these original Winchester's bring thousands of dollars . It would worth having it appraised.I did look it up in a few year old Gun Traders Guide.There are allot of variations. The one I see in the caliber you listed shows 1595.00. Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle made from 1894-1937

According to my book the 25-35 was just a little ahead of the 30-30, in fact a 30-30- is a necked up 25-35.
The cheapist one I have seen lately was over $800. Don't know if the person got that for it but thats what he was asking and I would say it was about 60%.
Good luck
