I was lucky enough to inherit a W.A. Sukalle rifle. Mine is in .300 H&H.
Sukalle was a superb barrel maker and put his serial numbers on the underside of the barrel near the receiver. The last two digits of the serial number are the year the barrel was made. The other numbers represent the # barrel made that year. Mine is 111457. Therefore it was the 1,114th barrel made in 1957. My gunsmith tells me it has a FN Mauser Action, made in Belgium. Features a Griffin & Howe scope mount and a jeweled bolt. Shows very little wear. I have not idea what this gun is worth.
W.A. Sukalle was featured on the cover of the June 1950 issue of American Rifleman. The same man who I acquired the rifle from had giving me his collection of American Rifleman magazines. I was pleased to find an original copy of the June 1950 issue in what is now my very own collection. If you are interested, I can scan it and email it to you.
