Why is the symbol WRACO stamped over the serial number?

So you will know it was manufactured by Winchester Repeating Arms Co.


Why would the serial number on a model 94 be knurled out then stamped over with wraco?

If a Winchester was returned to the factory for repair which required replacement to the frame it was common to remove the ser.no. and replace it with the letters WRACO, Winchester Repeating Arms Co., Also, unauthorized parties re-sold guns not under contract with Winchester, when these guns showed up at the factory it was re stamped with WRACO. Starting about 1905 Winchester's leaving the factory would be stamped on the top of the frame and the top of the barrel at the juncture of the frame & barrel with the letters WP inside an oval. If your gun was manufactured BEFORE 1905 AND has the WRACO stamp over the s/n then in all probability it'll have the WP proof mark too. Regards, Marty

Where is the serial number located on a Stevens Model 22-410 over-under gun?

Your gun began production in 1939. In 1950 the brand was changed to Savage. Rifles and shotguns made before 1968 were not required by law to have a serial number. IF yours has a serial number, it is stamped on the lower left side of the frame, just forward of the trigger.
