Guts:� You have a very nice rifle with interesting features like the "headless" cocking piece and an 1898 rear sight modified to 1902 configuration.� I believe your serial number dates from November, 1900.� The condition of your rifle appears very good.� Your stock appears to have a very nice grain.� I wonder if it is one of the stock blanks obtained from Italy?� (I have a cut down rifle stock with a "1900" cartouche that is definitely a European Walnut).
