      Winchester dates of manufacture

      I have 5 Winchesters that I would like to gather some info on if it is not too much trouble.

      1885 hi-wall, thick sided, 1/3 octagonal barrel about 34 inches long in .45-70, s/n 67718
      1905 in .35WSL s/n 780
      1905 in .32WSL s/n 4114
      1907 in .351WSL s/n 13777

      the last one is a mixmaster, the upper and lower receiver is a 1905 s/n 333. The barrel, hand guard and breechblock assy are from a 1907 and is in .351WSL. The magazine does not sit flush with the lower part of the trigger guard and it is marked as ".351WSL.

      Thank you,

                  Thank you!! My dad thought it was appx. 1912, so he was in the right neighborhood.

                  Is that production number 32,57X? It doesn't seem like it would be 3,257.
