Winchester Model 90 dating

Sgt Pepper · April 2, 2008, 09:51 AM

My father recently brought out his father's Winchester Model 90 .22-WRF to the ranch last weekend. He doesn't think that it has been handled or shot in over 40 years. The gun is in fantastic condition, and I would like to know the date of manufacture or where I can find that information. Serial number is 756xxx, and my guess is that it is early to mid-1930's production. I appreciate your help.

Looks like 1941.
