The gun had obviously been back to Parker Bros at some point as it has the 1910 wear plate and as Dave suggests, the stock has a certain "look" to it. The grip cap is correct for the period however, the earlier grip cap without the logo was all but phased out by 1901 - maybe a few early ones can be found on these later guns but when inventory was used up no more were made.

I find the 'circular' scalloped area on the front top of the lever and the corresponding shaping of the doll's head very interesting - I have never seen that exact feature before this one.
