You are certainly correct. But the post 64 Winchesters were not even close to the work turned out 1936-1963. The 1936-1941 pre-war creations are the most desireable. I note Winchester made a few special orders, including 7.65 Argentine and 9 MM Mauser. The .35 would be very rare...

Granted, Winchester went to hell for over a couple decades after 64. Then took a turn for the better, where they did manage to straighten up for a few years with some decent pieces, but I think one had to pay extra if one desired the quality work.
