I've watched this question gather dust for a couple of days now so I'm going to to answer it,
but if my answers wrong, don't hesitate to correct me.
I've seen gold triggers on several commerative rifles. The trigger pull on the only one I've ever fired was no different then ones with the standard blued trigger, so I'm going to say that the gold trigger means you paid more for the gun.
The Commemeratives are supposed to be "select" grade (better then commercial stock) But I couldn't tell you if that's true. Most collectors don't fire them and as I said, I've only shot the one.
Sorry I can't give you something definitive.
edit: the gold trigger means that the trigger is made of gold atleast 14k or 10k as 24k would be to soft.
Winchester did not make a model 77.Could you mean model 70?,or do you refer to the ruger model 77?
If you mean the model 1890 Winchester 22? then your rifle was made in 1911.
That it was produced on or after 1960.
If you mean a Winchester model 1894 rifle then it was made in the year 1929.I will say that Winchester never has made a model 14 though.Could you mean a Remington model 14 pump action rifle?
Probably Winchester.
The number 1400 refers to the Model number of your Winchester shotgun.
Do you mean a model 1894 rifle?If this is the case then your Winchester model 1894 rifle would have been made in the year 1896.
If you mean a model 1894, it was made in 1919
This should indicate that you have a Winchester model 70 rifle that was made in the year 1984.

It means that it is a Model 1890 (90) receiver. When Winchester introduced the Model 1906, they used the exact same receiver and action as the Model 1890, with exeption of the cartridge carrier. To readily differentiate between the two, Winchester stamped an "A" on the Model 1890 receiver and a "B" on the Model 1906 receiver. Bert H.
