I have come across a win.52 that has been re-done in Sedgley design. It is very early. #364. It has no marking as to Sedgley, I was interested if anyone knows what year the 52 was made. And what markings it would have if it had been done by Sedgley. Thanks

  I have a 52 with a 4-digit serial number beginning "10". My barrel is original, and is marked on the bottom of the chamber end "20", for 1920. If your barel is the original Winchester, its bottom should be marked earlier, perhaps "19" for 1919.

  Sedgley marked the guns they worked on.
  
  The 52 Winchester was sporterized by every gunsmith in America at one time or another.
  
  To even make a wild guess as to who did what good clear pictures are needed.
