By model, caliber and serial number.
Winchester serial numbers were unique to the model of the gun,The only thing the serial number tells you about the gun is it's age.The serial number you've listed was from a gun made in 1974.
Would need name and model of gun to answer.
We cannot tell the model from the serial number- but if you contact Merkel. they can.
You are going to have to identify the model number to determine the age. Take the gun to a gun shop or gun smith for assistance.
No way to tell without make and model. Serial numbers are not unique to only one gun.
The savage model 99F,which was produced from 1955-1973 is valued at between 265-500 dollars for a gun with between 60%-90% of its original finish remaining,and a good bore.
