Forgive my ignorance,but shouldn't your Winchester have one more number in the serial?I also have a somewhat early Winchester (type 1 receiver,spring tube) and my serial is 1176194. I thought Winchester serials started at 1 million besides the 6-10 they were first assigned

Maybe a bad angle for the photo missing the last digit on the right???

Hey Jim,long time no see lol.i hope you are doing well. I bet it is a play on the light in the picture. I only noticed it because I noticed his serial number was fairly close to mine but it was only missing one digit it appeared.btw,I have been thoroughly enjoying the SEY 30 rnders

It's indeed due to the angle the photograph was taken. There is another digit that is hidden.

Leaf backward ?

26 coil hammer spring ?

My bad, I missed that for quite a few years. I will change it the next time I will take the Winchester out of the gun vault.
