Thanks, to me it is ugly in the attractive since. I would not want to bet my life on it, but love the history and design.
I would believe it would date between 1918 end of ww1 and some time in 34 when they changed the design. prob. in the 20's the take down latch and trigger and extractor are salt blue. I think, salt blue I always though was the salt bath blueing. and had the bluish tint to it instead of the black blue we usually think of. if any one can give me a quick history on the blueing I would be grateful. the inside parts look heat treated with the straw color to them. thanks again for the input
