Gotta agree the checkering is after market, at least the forearm. Pic is kind of dark to see the buttstock, and some Spiegel guns had the buttstock checkered but not the forearm... But from what I can see it doesn't look quite right either.

Still, it's an EG in 30-30.. the only one I have is refinished and reblued and I'm happy to have it.
