Thanks to the sharp eye of a fellow forum member, I believe we know with a fair level of certainty who the owner of this little rifle was. The stock has the initials EMQ engraved on the brass shield. Edgar Monsanto Queeny was a business leader, conservationist and author.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Monsanto_Queeny

At the December 17 premier auction Rock Island also sold 2 Winchester model 21 shotguns that were custom made for Mr. Queeny.

As you recall this little 24 had a reversed safety and cast on built into the stock leading me to believe it was built for a left handed shooter. If you look at the factory letter for the 12 gauge 21, it was ordered with 7/16 of cast on leading me to believe Mr. Queeny was a left handed shooter. The 20 gauge that was built for his wife was ordered with only 1/16" of cast on.

Thanks again to IRS for digging into this and forwarding me the information.

Regards,
John

I think I was the runner up in the bidding. I would love to see some pictures of how she cleaned up!
