Information that may be in a record includes the date the gun was received into the warehouse, the configuration of the gun, and the date the gun shipped out.
The Cody Firearms Museum holds the records of 3.5 million individual Winchester firearms and many LC Smith and Marlin firearms.

All '94s look the same from the early 1930s forward. The excitement over the "flat band" and "pre-war" status is lost to me. The ramp front sight had become standard and the character of the true 1894 blurred. The argument over the 1933-43 guns is of little consequence, as the '94 at that point, IMO, is on the margin of collector interest. Maybe it will offer some clarification, or perhaps further confusion, on the '94. I found this list on of all places, Wikipedia.
Lately, there has been a lot of back and forth over exactly when a particular serial numbered gun was manufactured.
