Does the chrome trigger guard give any idea to it's age ?

Yes it does... Winchester began chromium plating the trigger guards in late September of 1945.
what's the difference between the model 60 and the 67 and which is more collectable
The only difference between the Model 60 and the early production Model 67 was the safety. The Model 60 safety required turning the cocking piece, whereas the Model 67 has a more tradition push lever style safety on the right rear side of the bolt with "Safe" and "Fire" positions.
In my opinion the Model 60 is more collectable for several reasons; it was only manufactured from December 1930 through 1934, and the total production was just 165,754 rifles. The Model 67/67A on the other hand, was manufactured from April of 1934 through December of 1963 with 652,538 manufactured. That said, there are were several variations of the Model 67/67A that are much less common, and they are highly collectable (the Junior Rifle, the Smooth Bore, and the 677).

Ok, time for me to chime in. My 67 is marked Model 67. (No A marking) Yet it has no grooves on forestock, and has a almost Mauser type safety on rear of bolt. Is this some kind of Frankenstein?

I doubt it, but can you post some pictures?
Tell your friend in California when you buy it back that they're worth a lot less than the original price, usually worn and bunged up somewhat.
My dad bought us one in 1937 and the price on the box was $5.45. Ten years later the older brother wanted to take it as his rifle and paid us our share of $1.26 each. Was glad to get the money as it was a free gift earlier.
Bert are sure of the safety on the model 67 i have 2 and both have the wing on the bolt? flips up for safe 90degree down for fire.thanks Kevin
Hello Kevin,
That is exactly what I stated... you call it a "wing" and I refer to it as a lever. Push it up (vertical) to fire, and push it down (to the right) for safe. If you look closely at the bolt you will see that "FIRE" and "SAFE" are marked on the bolt.
