Daniel, if you hear back from the buyer about what the letter says I'd appreciate hearing about it. The fact that it has a perchbelly 1899 stock on an 1895 rifle, butt is still stamped with an 1895 serial number is intriguing. It'd be interesting to see the accepted from factory date and whether Callahan finds any work orders towards it.
