    Hello Bert H most.likely will be here to reply to your question But FWIW That doesn't look like roll marked to me but more like done with an engraver. MODERN work not 100 years old. I don't see any smooth curves on say the letter S.or other curved lines.

    It does not look right to me... it is a clever looking fake.

    The real roll mark had "Trade Mark" rolled directly below the "WINCHESTER". Didn't start this until the model 62A.

    Seems to me that the carnival gallery guns were marked that way..I have seen one or two,fifty years ago,I think.It was a form of advertising for Winchester..In fact I'd be willing to bet on it..Say $5 or so..Not much as the old memory is fading fast..Nice looking piece in any case..modoc
