Round Knob Snob!
I have narrowed my collecting focus to era with round knobs and stock cheeks!
This plays out in about the 1913-14 time period best I can tell from the catalogues and serial number charts.
Even though the first catalogues with the flattened pistol grip also show stock cheeks, I have not seen an A grade example with both and no checkering.
Sorry Craig I will break my promise! Lol
One of the best examples I have come across is an 1908 RAS No. 2 (B) Grade that I picked up years ago.
Enjoy, Will
