I've not seen it before but I don't know that I ever owned any Winchester made around 1962. Did they ever fill in the barrel markings on their rifles with some sort of red filler? I got a Model 70 Westerner (264), made in 1962, in a supergrade stock. Probably a fake as supposedly the supergrades were discontinued in all but the African by then, and it doesn't have a supergrade floorplate. And the barrel markings have something light red in them. I'm sure brake fluid would remove it, but I don't want to if it's supposed to be like that.
