Picked up this Ruger No. 1 today... Caliber: 7x57... what caught my eye was the custom checkering... a perfectly executed Al Biesen "Triple fleur de lei" pattern... there is some corrosion on the rear of the receiver... I will attend to that when I get it home. the price was well below market for a 7x57 and to tope it off, a Burris 1 3/4 x 5 gloss scope came with it... I just couldn't leave it behind...

That corrosion reminds me of a No. 1 i owned many years ago purchased new. It was caused by salt cured wood...the corrosion much similar to yours.

Mine would have been from the same time frame.

Very nice, professional quality checkering~
I'm not much of a Fluer Fan, but that is very well executed and good design.
