Pappy,
The Taylor's 1895 is made by Uberti. They have them in stock, and you can see them in their showroom.
I live down 81, about 45 minutes from Taylor's, so I will probably drive up in a week or two and take a look.
The Uberti's I have seen, in other models of rifles, have very plain looking walnut. Almost looks like furniture legs.
