Thanks for the reply, raimey. I took it apart, but like a dummy did not take pics of the marks, and cannot remember. I remember a tiny touchmark on the underside of the buttstock just aft of the grip. Very hard to read, and totally unobtrusive, but it was a two digit number followed by something like "Wetten - ??????. The serial number was either 17005 or 170005, can't remember if it was 5 or 6 digits. Cheekpiece, original sling swivels. The year of mfg. was written on the hang tag. I have not verified it.

I don't really need the gun, but it was in such high condition that I considered making an offer on it, possibly to use as trading fodder. Really beautiful engraving, with a Fox on the floorplate.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
