If we are talking about a original Winchester model 1885 rifle?Then with the serial number that you have provided your rifle was made in the year 1887.
The serial number is stamped into the steel on the bottom forward edge of the receiver frame right next to where the magazine tubes enters the action. Bert H.
While your Shotgun says model 1901,It is actually a Winchester model 1887 lever action 10ga shotgun.The model 1901 shotgun which was a strengthened model 1887 starts at serial number 64,856.These 2 models of shotguns had interchanging serial numbers.Your serial number shows that it was made by Winchester in 1891.The value of your shotgun is based on the amount of original finish remaining on the wood and metal in a percentage.If your shotgun has between 10%-50% of its original finish remaining,then its value will be between 675-1,325 dollars.I would like to add that your chamber length should be 2 7/8in in length.
Yes.
Hello, In the year 1888. Bert Hartman
Made in 1910.The serial numbers of the model 1901 started where the model 1887 shotgun left off.the serial number start for this model is 64856.It should be noted that some serial numbers were skipped between 1904-1920.Total production was 13,500 shotguns including the serial numbers skipped.My records indicate that your shotgun was made in 1906.
Winchester never chambered there model 1894 lever action rifle in 50 caliber.There were only 2 Winchester model rifles chambered in 50 caliber,these were the model 1876 rifle in 50-95Win.caliber and the model 1886 rifle in 50-110 Express caliber.If after further review you see that you have either of these rifles,then the model 1876 rifle with the serial number provided was made in 1880.If yours is a model 1886 rifle it was made in 1887.
