We had a debate about this case not long ago. Pre-1959 Winchesters by ads and all other examples in the database lack the "scallop pattern" around the case sides. It looks like this case change appeared in 1959, after which the model was likely discontinued. The latest Winchesters we have ID'ed to date are 1959 and all of them have this "stand alone" for model scalloped case. No Winchester model as late as 1966, and no other ads identified for any other model using this case. Movement date therefore matches case.
I'm with Jim on this one as well.
