I just won this Model 1892 at auction. It was made between 1904-1909. The serial number has been scrubbed and renumbered and  the “ARSENAL” mark has been added.

Has anyone ever seen one like this or have any ideas or information??

I have never seen another Winchester with that marking, or even heard of one.  If you can provide pictures of the factory markings on the barrel, and on the upper tang, the approximate serial number range and date of manufacture can be determined.

WAG is the original serial was removed for the usual reasons. A new owner wanted to put something there but not violate the law. So “Arsenal” looks semi-official but doesn’t further violate the law like stamping a new false number would.
