What is a Buffalo Bill BB Gun?

Just found a listing for one for sale. It appears to have walnut stock and fairly nice engraving on the sides of the trigger/chamber area. Looks like an old lever action rifle. Who was this manufactured by and is there any value?

Probably made by Daisy. It would help if you could provide a listing, so I can see a pic of it. Daisy actually made several Buffalo Bill variants and they all have a different value.

Yep, a Daisy made 1894. And I BELIEVE these were only available to purchase at the Buffalo Bill museum?
But I may be mistaken.

I was able to get a picture of the gun. Never saw one before. Are they rare?

That's an 1894 all right. Daisy made other buffalo bill commemoratives as well.

Whoops. Forgot to discuss value. They are not uncommon but they are a collectible rifle. It all depends on condition and whether they actually shoot a BB with authority. Value of a good shooter in light played with condition......85%...... would be around $150-$175 to the right guy. The one pictured was circa late 60's/early 70's.

The Daisy 1894 Buffalo Bill 'commemorative' gun was offered in 1996 direct from Daisy at $80. I bought two, thinking to get rich based on the limited number to be built (around 2500 in the end) and eventually did sell them off, but as with many 'commemorative' items, the demand fell off and prices never rocketed.

Yup, Daisy made more than one Buffalo Bill commemorative. At least 4 that I know of. Two were built on the 1894 platform, one on the 1938b plaform and one toy gun that just went "bang". The one in the pics on this thread is the Buffalo Bill Scout Model 3030. It was made from 1969 till the early 70's. You would be quite lucky if it actually shoots a BB........unless it has been rebuilt. 1894's are notorious for seal failure.

Daisy made two versions of the 1894, one for general sale and one sold only at the museum.

And just to be clear, two versions of the Buffalo Bill model.
Daisy made MANY versions of the 1894. I have several but don't think I'll ever get one of each version.
Can't afford it.
