Bert, I own Model 94 #1242437 “W” marked. It is in 32 Winchester special. The rest of the rifle appears standard.
Not sure if anyone cares or needs this info but I have Model 63 22cal #39002 which is also “W’ marked. Both are 1940 made.
Thanks… one more verified Model 94 for the survey
The Models 97, 12, 94, 61, 62, 63, 64, and 65 can all be found the “W” stamp on them, all made between February 1939 – February 1941.

Bert Here i found a couple “W” stamped carbines for Your survey #1 ser# 1,227,737 being 1939 vintage as under bbl. stamp. It is a standard equipment 20″ carb. 30 cal. It is British proofed on the frame and the bolt and has on the bbl. “not English made” and has the London armory proofs instead of the Birmingham proofs which is kind of odd plus a lot of other proofs for cordite etc. I don,t know how it got back to Canada. #2 ser#1,233,346 being 1940 as stampe3d. It is a standard 20″ carb. in 30 cal. stamped on the frame O.P.P. (Ontario Provincial Police). Henry

Bert, I have a model 94 serial number 1212791 with the “W” stamped under the serial number.Carl
Which caliber is it? Does it have a Type 6 or a Type 7 upper tang marking?

Bert, #1212791 is 32 W.S. This is my first pre 64 model 94. Not familiar with different tang markings. Mine has “Winchester” with “Trade Mark” under that and “Made in U.S.A.” under that.Carl
I have included pictures showing a Type 6 and a Type 7 upper tang marking.
