Skewer Question

I need a new skewer for my Schwinn Super le Tour. It has a 6 speed freewheel. Will the 13mm ones fit? As that is the only close size I see.

13mm or 13cm? are you talking lenght or diameter? To my knowledge except for a few modern (like last 5-10years) all rear skewers are the same diameter just longer for 126-130-135. I think a 130mm or 13cm should fit a 6spd spaced at 126.
