OfflineWinchester changed the caliber marking from “32 W.S.” to “32 WIN. SPL.” early in the year 1950. I 1955 vintage barrel should be marked as yours is. If you pull the magazine tube and forend stock off, you should find a 2-digit year number stamped on the bottom of the barrel right next to the receiver frame.
