Nice gun but it's not a pre-war, it's a Transition model.

+1 as regards the stock being refinished, notice the rounded edges where the wood curves up near the front receiver ring. The pores of the wood are filled with finish and the finish looks thick around the borders of the checkering.

The rounded edge at the front of the ejection port is normal for Winchester. My money would bet on it being an original finish, both wood and metal although a buyer should insist on a hands on inspection period. I have examined mint Super Grades of that era and they were exceedingly well finished with proper filling of the wood grain.

Nope, one year too early....Transition serial #'s start at 60,500 and go to approx. 87,700 for the standard actions and 63,200 to approx. 121,700 for the H&H magnum actions....Hope that helps gunner...
