Can't be answered without a detailed description of ALL markings, finish, serial number and overall condition
From the information I can find, if it was made before 1968, it probably doesn't have a serial number. In most cases, the serial number on a gun is pretty well out in the open and visable, usually on the receiver.
year 1957
Hard to answer without the entire serial number..... it should have LW after the serial number or CLW before it for post 1970 guns. If it doesn't it may be a non-colt frame... Ed
I would need the serial number to identify the year your winchester was made.These model 88 lever action rifles were made from 1956-1973.
