At least I think that is what Michael Petrov would have called it. It certainly is a little strange. Under the barrel band front sight is a July 1929 star gauge barrel. The matching receiver is listed in the DCM sales list as a sporter. The stock is a beautiful piece of Walnut with a horn forend tip and pistol grip cap. What makes it depression era is the lack of a cheek piece and the simple well done checkering pattern, although the forearm is a wrap around pattern. I had planned to put a pre-war Lyman Alaskan scope I have on it, but it is shooting so well with the 1950s era Weaver K-4, I think I'll leave it alone. The Pachmayr pad is certainly the most recentaddition. The strangest thing of all to me is the vestigial receiver sight. I am familiar with the blanks that replace the slide, but base also appears to be a blank.
