A friend(?) of mine had a Winchester proof stamp. Any vent rib gun could be turned into factory with a touch of the hammer

I also read somewhere that most of what we’re called factory vent ribs were Simmons BUT the ones that were considered factory DID NOT have Simmons stamped on the side of the rib .

Tell us exactly what you have, and its markings, when you get it in hand, and we can give you a better idea of what you have. You can tell us about the proof marks, but pictures of the rib are necessary to determine originality.

Yup, it was all straight as a string, 26 inch barrel was marked Imp Cyl and all the serial numbers matched.
