Winchester 1894 Barrel Date ??

Rifle round barrel was removed from a pre 1900 (no proof mark) receiver.
I have included a couple of pictures to show the markings
Underside of the barrel is marked . 1 38 55 (VP)
Does the dot, 1 or the VP in circle gives us a build/mfg date ?
take care and thanks for the help

Looks like the barrel address makes it 1897 or earlier
Guess that is about as close as I am going to get
take care and thanks again Trap
