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.

A 30 caliber Winchester Center Fire is the name Winchester originally gave to what is now the popular 30-30 round.
When it was introduced, it was called .30 WCF (Thirty caliber Winchester Center Fire). At some point became 30-30. Value depends on condition. Around $ 300 would be somewhere in the ballpark. Marlin originally used 30-30 so they wouldn't have to put a Winchester "brand" on their rifles when manufactured in the caliber.
