Its been awhile since I saw that movie but I think he had a Winchester rifle, pearl-handled Colt revolver, and I think a double-barrel shotgun. I've heard that in most of his movies the antique guns were all from his private gun collection. Since his death I think his oldest son had the collection.
I can't help you. Was looking for answer myself. My ss # on barrel is 53459. hope you find out. That version of the company name was used from 1886 to 1916. If you need more, send $15 to the Stevens historian. Mr. John Calahan, 53 Old Quarry Road, Westfield, MA 01085

No, you need to call Browning.
The barrel should be stamped 30-30 winchester.
Made in 1934.
The model will be stamped on the barrel right after the Winchester name.
The model number should be stamped into the barrel near the Winchester name. It will say "model" or "model of"

The original factory barrel will have the name Winchester and the chambering of the gun stamped into it.The color is another tell, the color on the chamber should match the barrel exactly.Look at the joint between the barrel and the chamber, can you see any bare metal at the end of the barrel?A replacement will have to have had the threaded end of the barrel milled after it was blued to get it to fit right.
