A new S-man '03 rifle showed up on GB. While I was negotiating the price someone bought it at the buy-it-now. The interesting thing is that it was a NM '03 that was in the DCM sales book and the DCM sold it to a man in Chicago. This falls in line with Michael Petrov's thoughts that the S-man was from the Chicago area. The rifle has some initials on the PG which are not the initials of the original buyer of the rifle. My thought is that a later owner added the initials on the PG since I don't believe the quality of the carving is up to the S-man's standards, if you look at his oak leaf carving on some of his rifles you can see this. For those wanting to see this rifle, GB #947657769, if the buyer is on this forum, please let us know so he can look for clues when taking the metal out of the stock.
