Hello all. Did all Winchester Hotchkiss 1st Model rifles have serial numbers? I found one on the auction side that shows a serial number on top of the receiver, however was wondering if all the Winchester Hothckiss rifles had serial numbers stamped on them. Thanks, Brett.

  I have a Winchester Hotchkiss 1st Model carbine. The gun is missing the magazine cutoff/safety hardware. Anyone know of a gunsmith that can fix a hotchkiss or a place that has parts? Its a nice old gun and I'd like to get it 100% again.

  Hello Bert,
  
  Are they all stamped on the top part of the receiver by the bolt? There are two currently on the auction side. One is stamped the other is not. Is there another location for the serial numbers?
