Yes, I have. Winchester marked an export serial number on the left side of the barrel on all models that ordinarily did not have a serial number. 0 -

I have not ever seen one marked on the receiver, just the left side of the barrel. No, it does not add any value. If Winchester marked the export serial number, it was shipped overseas. Over the last 50-60 years, a lot of Winchesters have made their way back home, especially those that were shipped to the Australia, Canada, India, Mexico, South America, and the United Kingdom. They bring much higher prices here in the United States. 0 -
