Pre-war vs. post-war IIRC. Joe has written a neat post, just can't find it right now! :roll: I'm hoping that is the right answer . If you can find a thread on this it would be great. Bought this rifle at todays' OGCA show and it is " as NIB " minus box, came from an estate sale in Hamilto...

When did Winchester stop marking the top tangs on the Model 94 ? Have a 1940 rifle that says Winchester on tang, and just bought a 1949 era 32 Spl. serial # 19025xx that has no markings whatever on top tang. Hope it is suppossed to be that way !!!
