Your Winchester model 60A was made between the years 1932-1939.The rifles of that time were not required to have serial numbers,and Winchester chose not to serial number the model 60 series of rifles.The law was not changed until the passage of the gun control act of 1968,mandating that all firearms be serial numbered.
with the serial number that you supplied,your Winchester model 55 was made in the year 1930.Winchester model 55 rifles had there own serial numbers,and also were serial numbered in the model 1894 rifles serial numbers.Yours is the later which was serial numbered in the model 1894 serial number range.Yours was one of only 1,535 model 55 rifles made in 1930.
The serial number that you provided is to high for the winchester model 52.These bolt action .22cal rifles had serial numbers that went as high as 125,419.If you meant serial number 37814 then your winchester model 52 was made in 1937.
Yes, the Sears Model 54 was made by Winchester and used the Winchester Model 54 serial numbers. Your serial number puts the rifle at being made in 1930 or 1931.
The Winchester model 55 rifles were some one of the few rifles made by Winchest er to have serial numbers of their own,and also have them listed with the model 1894 rifle production serial numbers.Yours happens to be one of the rifles made that lists its serial number in the model 1894 range of numbers.With the serial number that you have provided,your Winchester model 55 rifle was made in the year 1928.The Winchester model 55 was made from 1926-1936,with a total production of only 20,592 rifles made.I hope this helps eliminate any confusion on this model of Winchester rifle.
It could be because sequential serial numbers would have allowed someone to collect a sample of rifles and then estimate the total number produced.
winchester did not keep records of the serial numbers by year of manufacture for the 200 series of rifles in which yours belongs.I can say that the model 290 was made from 1963-1976.
Your Winchester model 255 was made from 1963-1971.winchester did not keep records of the serial numbers by year of production for the 200 series of rifles,which yours is.
The winchester model 77 was made during the years 1955-1963.The serial numbers started at 1001,and ended at 217,180.Winchester did not keep records of the model 77 production.with the parts clean up this produced about 900 more rifles,so the serial numbers could be as high as 218,000.
Winchester Rifles do not have letters in their serial numbers. The year of manufacture for serial number 45081 is 1941. Source: http://armscollectors.com/sn/winlookup.php
