I may stand corrected, too many corporations out there today. Here is an excerpt.
A New Era
On August 15, 2006, Olin Corporation, owner of the Winchester trademarks, announced that it had entered into a new license agreement with Browning to make Winchester brand rifles and shotguns, though not at the closed Winchester plant in New Haven. Browning, based in Morgan, Utah, and the former licensee, U.S. Repeating Arms Company, are both subsidiaries of FN Herstal. In 2008 FN Herstal announced that it would produce Model 70 rifles at its plant in Columbia, SC.

Larry there are gun appraisers. Id make one recommendation is dont clean it or polish it. Let them recommend what to do with it. Odd place to learn it, but the show Pawn Stars takes in old guns and various other stuff and they often talk about the effect of messing with the aged look of a gun. I did a google search and came up with a bunch of listings that could help you. Just type in gun appraisers

The price of a gun depends on the age, caliber and condition. If it is a popular caliber, has seen honest use, was properly cleaned and well-maintained it is worth a LOT more than a gun that has been "rode hard and put away wet", regardless of age/scarcity.
