Calfed,
the ONLY difference in the so-called Winchester Police Rifle & a standard, plain vanilla, Model 1907 (.351WSL) or 1910 (.401WSL) was a straight 10 round magazine. - the "police rifles" came straight off the assembly line & NO there were NOT special serial numbers for those rifles.
fyi, there were also some 15-round (and a FEW 20-round "banana clips" that did NOT work successfully!) "aftermarket" magazines made for & sold by George F. Cake Company in Dallas, as late as the late '50s.
(the TX Dept of Corrections still had some of the .351s, as few as 15 years ago, as "tower rifles".)
fwiw, ALL of the "police rifles" in either caliber that i ever saw in 3 decades of being "pinned to the badge" were "police marked" by engraving/stamping/branding the actions/stocks.
yours, PG
