Winchester date of manufacture

I've got a model 24 with a serial number 3811 and was wondering if anyone on here could tell me when it was made.

According to the BB, it's a first year production gun,1939.

EDIT #1, For valuation we need quality photos, or a very specific description of the Winchester. Re, factory originally and cosmetic condition.

The Winchester dom in the blue book are as unreliable as their valuations.

Even a blind hog can find an acorn once in a while.
I checked in The Red Book of Winchester Values, 3rd edition, and the Blue Book is correct this time.

What does it say about the value of it?

We have got to see pictures for a value estimate.
Value is all about condition, condition, condition and originality.
There is a "sticky" at the top of the page about posting good, clear, close pictures.
