What are they asking for it? Plain "1896" (without "Model") is the scarcest of the receiver stamps. I have a very close one in my collection. If everything IS right (short stock, 96C sight, etc.) and it is reasonably priced, you might want to snap it up. A reblue (unless it is one of those #$#$%# "black chrome" jobs is not the kiss of death - especially if you only "think" it has been.

Thank you, I sent you a PM
