Winchester model 69 ?

[MountainWalk]

Was at a gun store and noticed they had one of these that was badly tapped for a scope and had the sight base hacksawed off. Three hundred bucks! Holy smokes.  any how, the tag said no serial number.  Well, I have one as well, with the winchester fsctory peep sight, in much beyer shape.  Went home an looked. Sure enough,, no serial number.. Why is this?  Its an older rifle(34-41). Any idea on its value?

serial numbers weren't required on American made guns until the Gun Control Act of 1968

I'll bet there are as many without as there are with, really common.
