WALTER HUNT'S REPEATER

The Hunt repeater, generally regarded as the forerunner of the Winchester, was made only as a patent model in 1849.

JENNINGS AND SMITH JENNINGS

Guy Hubbard, a historian of Windsor, Vermont where Robbins and Lawrence made the Jennings repeater, stated in 1924 that he had been informed by principals of the company that only 1,000 Jennings and Smith Jennings rifles were made between 1849 and 1852 and of this number many were converted to single shots and many more were scrapped for parts.

As the result of the Gun Control Act of 1968, Winchester assigned letter prefixes to the serial numbers to designate most models, the letter 'H' was assigned to the Model 88s while 'A' was used as a suffix to the Model 100 serial numbers. You may see a suffix to a serial number of 'A' on a few earlier guns.

SMITH AND WESSON

Total production of about 1,600 guns, 600 were transferred to the Volcanic Company for assembly, according to remaining Winchester records. Smith and Wesson lever action arms were made from 1853 to 1855.

VOLCANIC ARMS

From 1855 to 1857 the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company made about 3,000 guns.

NEW HAVEN ARMS

In 1857 and 1858, the New Haven Arms Company repeaters were in production. About 3,200 were made, but many of these remained on hand for almost 100 years until they were sold to employees for as little as one dollar in Winchester's surplus store.

WALCH REVOLVERS

In an attempt to raise operating capital the New Haven Arms Company and Oliver F. Winchester contracted to produce 3,000 revolvers for Cyrus Manville. These revolvers were the Walch .31 caliber style with superposed loads, made from 1860 to 1861.

Production reached 125,419, according to most factory records, with an additional 32 guns assembled after 1979. Factory records are probably in error for 1956, since production of 15,038 guns of this model for one year is highly unlikely. Production for years 1950-1952, 65-66, 67-70 and 72-75 were not kept separate for each year and were bulked together by the factory.

Production reached 125,419, according to most factory records, with an additional 32 guns assembled after 1979. Factory records are probably in error for 1956, since production of 15,038 guns of this model for one year is highly unlikely. Production for years 1950-1952, 65-66, 67-70 and 72-75 were not kept separate for each year and were bulked together by the factory.
