From the early 20's through the middle 30's there was an option that could be ordered that was "Silver Plate with name and scroll on stock". Ranging from $9 in 1922 and dropping to $5 in 1935, which is the last I that I think the Extras were listed. Not listed after 1935... but does that mean they weren't available?

Has anybody ever seen a rifle with one?

Jaaack has this 1939-1940 99R (personally I think it's a 99RS that somebody swapped the tang sight on) with a plate. Obviously this kind of thing can be done outside of the factory.. which is why we're curious if anybody has any others?

Whether factory or not, beautiful rifle and cool bit of history!
