Hi George!
Many thanks!! Again, the engraving alone should have set it above a "C" grade? Anyway, when Bill asked about the serial number, I asked the owner for some watertable pics - so those came over...
Next - I called him back and requested that he send me the BIG images - right from his camera - uncropped, unedited, whatever... I really wanted to see if that was a "frog" (as I thought it was too
) between the floorplate screws... So those were sent and I resized, cropped and "voila"..
It's not a frog and the engraving is spectacular!!!
Anyway - hang tight.... I want larger images of the sides, stock, etc... When I get those, I will post them up as well....
To the current owner - thank you for trusting me....
To the rest - thanks for bearing with me on getting some great info/pics about this old A grade.. I think the wait will be worth it though....
Many thanks again!
John
