Just read in a G&A online value Q&A that thhey were made from between 1939 and 1954. I have one. A clip repeater that had a nice semi buckhoorn rear. It was originally drilled for a side mount and then I added too it's miisery by having it drilled and tapped on top.

It's now in it's semi-original iron sight config. I killed a semi load of groundhogs with it and its ooepn sights and remington golden HP's.

Always accurate, I shot it so much it was instinctiive. Niice gun. The bluiing is but a memory and the wood straiight and plain, but it does shoot well.
