How is it shipped from the warehouse before received in the warehouse? http://www.coltforum.com/forums/attachments/want-sell/564066d1527900885-wts-winchester-model-1894-38-55-caliber-circa-1903-img_2313.jpg

My question is, If this was a factory modification will a letter from the museum reflect this?

To proof stamp, the barrel must be proof tested. Which means it must be attatched to a reciever. I think possibly, your reciever was proof stamped, at the same time when te s,l,lr barrel wasinstalld,if done at te factory.

That proof mark on your reciever, could have been oririginal. That is about the time, or shortly before they started proof stamping.

My 17,548 and 90,113 1906's do not have proof marks on them.
