During the War years,winchester did not record the serial numbers of domestic made Model 1894 rifles by year of production.These years 1943-1948 do not have the info that you seek.Beginning with serial number 1,287,469 thru serial number 1,499,999 all models of the Winchester model 1894 rifle can only be surmised as to the year of production.I would venture to say that your model 1894 rifle was produced in 1946,or 1947.
