Made in late 1912, with 56,582 made that year.
I googled VAFCO and VAF Co. and didn't find anything that would relate to a firearm purchased for a company. You should check with Cody to see if it letters. The letter may say who it was shipped too, and/or how many rifles were shipped in that order.

date request

I have a win model 190 that was sold by sears as a sears 3T 22LR serial number is 2732390 there is also a EO stamped on the top of the barrel. Anything you could tell will be greatly appreciated.

Jose, The models 290 and 190 were made from 1963 to 1974, with 2,171,263 produced, and unfortunately there is no known serial number data for them.
To complicate even further, all the Sears house brands, Sears, JC Higgins, and Ted Williams, were serial numbered by Winchester, but used serial numbers exclusive to Sears, and no one has ever found the data for the Sears serial numbers.

Darn, thanks for the info though.

[TRAP55]

Maybe someday, someone will stumble on them like Bert did with the Winchester Polishing Room records in the Cody Museum basement. We can only hope!
I don't know if you'll have any luck, but you might try a call to the Winchester customer service number. Stranger things have happened!

Just throwing a dart here - VA Federal Corrections?

Also - Googling "VA FCO" comes up with Veterans Affairs...... but I dunno what they'd want with rifles.
