I picked up this rifle sometime back and due to work it has slipped through the cracks. Enough work has been done so it is not a standard Winchester model. A Winchester 54 with Griffin and Howe scope mount, Hensoldt-Weizlar Ziel-Dialyt 2 3/4X scope, Lyman receiver sight and two-leaf folding barrel sight. Front sight is a pinned post. Serial number places it as 1929 and with an A suffix indicating it has the improved extractor. Barrel is nickel steel. Fore end cap is ebony. Stock is very dark walnut with a trapdoor butt plate with storage for cleaning rods. No markings other then the standard Winchester barrel markings. The emaciated deer carving on the right butt is a more recent work and I wish it wasn't there.
Any ideas who, when or where this work was done? Any help would be appreciated.
