You could have the "CODY FIREARMS MUSEUM RECORDS OFFICE" look it up for a fee. https://centerofthewest.org/explore/firearms/firearms-records https://centerofthewest.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/2015_Winchester_SN-list.pdf (Looks like 1895, but there is some uncertainty on my part). See if you can find it on this list of models/serial numbers. http://www.winchesterguns.com/content/dam/winchester-repeating-arms/support/faq/serial-number-reference/Winchester-Manufacture-Dates-by-Year-2012-Scanned-Documents.pdf

Your local gun shop will know this information if you supply the serial number.

The Winchester Model 1897 evolved from the Winchester Model 1893. The Model 1897 and 1893 were both designed by John Browning. The Model 1897 is an external hammer shotgun lacking a trigger disconnector. This means that the user can hold the trigger down while cycling the shotgun and once the action is returned to battery the gun fires. The gun itself is classified as a slide action pump shotgun. It was the first truly successful pump-action shotgun produced. Throughout the time period the Model 1897 was in production, over a million of the type were produced in various grades and barrel lengths. 16-gauge guns had a standard barrel length of 28 inches, while 12-gauge guns were furnished with 30-inch length barrels. Special length barrels could be ordered in lengths as short as 20 inches, and as long as 36 inches. Along with various grades and barrel lengths, the Model 1897 came in two different chamberings. One was the 12 gauge and the other was the 16 gauge. The shells should be of the 2-¾ inch or 2-? inch model. Any shells larger are not recommended. An average Model 1897 held 5 shotgun shells in the magazine tube. After including the one shell that could be held in the chamber, the average Model 1897 held a total of 6 shotgun shells. However, this would vary from grade to grade. When working the action of the Model 1897 the forend (fore grip) is pulled back, forcing the breech bolt to the rear which extracts and then ejects the spent shell while simultaneously cocking the external hammer by pushing it to the rear. When the forend is slid forward again, the breech bolt pushes a fresh shell into the gun's chamber and locks into place. This action of sliding the forend back and forth (pumping) is why the gun is classified as a slide action (or pump) gun.

Hard to say exactly , the serial numbers were stamped un sequentially. The first production was in 1963. Winchester continued production into the early 1970s . I have one . They hold 16 in the mag and one in the pipe . Value probably 200 - 350 $ depepending on condition . Hope this was helpful . As most guns are the value is based on condition unless rare in sequential serial numbers . A fine gun but as with .22 cals cleaning should be performed after 50 to 75 rounds .

Contact a local gunsmith on this.

It looks like years between 1959-1960 Good luck on price. That will range based on condition.

Early 1907, Cathy. Best guess, March.

Try a local gun dealer or gunsmith would be better

1925, sir. Hang onto it! Pass it down.

It's a 1961 model. Yep, a 3" chamber means it will fire anything UP TO that limit. Nice gun, Bobby! Congrats, bud!

According to guns dot com you can.

Last half of 1989, bud. Great gun! Congrats!

Hi Joe: Here's a link http://www.winchesterguns.com/content/dam/winchester-repeating-arms/support/faq/serial-number-reference/Winchester-Manufacture-Dates-by-Year-2012-Scanned-Documents.pdf Looks like it might be 1988

Winchester says a lot of records were destroyed:

1. A fire at the factory

2. Inadvertent destruction (during office cleaning)

3. Records simply lost in filing

4. Records misplaced between ownership transitions

5. Documents borrowed but not returned

From what I have found late 1953 This may help if it isn't your exact weapon http://guncollectionsonline.com/model12.htm

You've got an exactly 1964 gun, Karen. The changeover year for Winchester. They retooled most of their guns that very year to cut expenses on some or to make for easier manufacturing on others. When folks talk about "pre 64 Winchesters", they mean guns made up to the year 1963 that used diff parts and had diff levels of finishing etc. In 64, Winchester started the new model 94 at serial number 2,700,000 and they went to 2,797,000 or so that first year.
