Did the model 1897 Winchester pump action shotgun made in 1898 fire a black powder shell?
Yes. the model 1893 was made for black powder. Model 1897's were made for smokeless and replaced the 1893. Both black powder and smokeless were used for many years, side by side. People got smart and started only buying smokeless shells, easy to clean.
What is the age of Winchester 20-20 serial 703494?
Your question is difficult to answer because there is no "20-20" Winchester. The model 1894 was the first rifle available in the new smokeless powder 30 WCF cartridge (Winchester Center Fire) aka "30-30". If this is actually your rifle it was manufactured in 1913.
What does 3030 stand for?
Nothing, really, but the name of the cartridge. When Winchester introduced the Model 94 in 1894 in the brand new smokeless powder round .30 Winchester caliber, most of the other ammunition on the market was black powder and had names such as 25-20, 44-40, 45-70, etc. These names stood for the caliber (diameter of the bullet) and how many grains of black powder were in the load. The .30 Winchester didn't follow that convention an dpeople didn't know what to expect, so it was not well accepted in the market and sold poorly. In a marketing move, Winchester changed the name to 30-30 (still, of course, a smokeless powder round with identical components as the .30 Winchester) and the guns and ammunition sold quite well.
Can modern smokeless powder ammo be fired in an original 1873 Winchester 44-40 in good mechanical condition?
Great care and caution have to be excercised when shooting old original guns. They were intended to be shot with black powder which isn't as critical in case capacities as it is with smokeless powders. It is quite subjective as to the terms of "condition" as it is referred to in the question. A tight Model 1873, that is in very good shape, with no rust or pitting, that locks up correctly can be safely shot with smokeless powder loads, provided it isn't loaded beyond what the safe pressure that is recommended by the manufacturer.

What do I have Winchester 30 WCF 588313?
Based on what I know, I believe you have a Winchester Model 1894 lever action 30-30. If 588313 is the serial number it was probably made prior to 1924. Depending on the condition of the rifle you have an exceptional firearm with a rich history. I recommend keeping it in the family. If you were to buy a brand new Winchester Model 1894 30-30 today it would not be half the firearm you currently have in your possesion. One thing you can do is to check on the barrel. If it says "especially for smokeless powder" then you have an original. If you are interested in the history of this particular firearm you can google Winchester .30 W.C.F. or Winchester 30-30. There is probably more information on this rifle than any other. As a caution there are a lot of people out there that would be more than happy to offer you a couple hundred bucks for it. Don't do it. Hope this helps.
