These fine made older Marlin rifles such as yours can have a considerable value.The Marlin model 94 was made from 1894-1934,so we can rule out the year 1883.If you would include a serial number,we may be able to pin down the year of manufacture.The value of your rifle can range in price from a minimum of 400 dollars,up to 3,000 dollars depending on the amount of original finish remaining on the rifles wood and metal.10% would reflect the 400 dollar price,and 80% would be the 3,000 dollars price.If you have a saddle ring carbine add 25% to the above listed price.You can already add 10% because you have it chambered in 44-40Win.If you have a baby carbine(18inch barrel,and half magazine) you can add another 40% to the above stated values.i would have your rifle appraised by a pro collector of Early Marlin rifles.
