Vstrom:

Welcome. Very interesting. For some reason the photos are tiny and I cannot make out details such as the mark on the back of the gun under the toggle. Grip safety, unrelieved sear, late toggle and no stock lug with 4 digit serial? My first guess is a 1906 contract or a parts gun - a custom job that has reblued, rebarrelled, and engraved with the owners initial above the toggle? The magazine looks like a later replacement. I like it. Will be interested to hear other comments on this one.
