I just recently Dug one with a little bit of the pink paper left also.. If you use the search option within treasurenet I know there's at least one thread about dating the head stamps on these.

I don't know the exact date but it is somewhere between 1898 and 1932 . I believe in 1932 Western was bought out by Winchester .
