Helm pattern buttplate appears to be reblued, turning somewhat plum. Forearm of fancy American walnut is checkered with an ebony tip and is fitted with a tuning fork Winchester palm rest.

An extra dovetail in the barrel has been filled. Factory research states this rifle shipped May 7th, 1913; no other information available. CONDITION: Action retains almost all of its blue with just a couple of minor scratches. Buttstock has a few very minor marks. Buttplate retains virtually all of its reblue. Barrel shows minor scratches, most of blue still present. Fine action with excellent bore. This rifle could stand to have a little loving care applied to it to turn it into a really wonderful example. TR
