This rifle clearly falls into the "Custom-Deluxe" category..., custom engraving, custom checkering, custom forearm and recoil pad..., bet it even has the checkered trigger! ... but it's no real surprise when a nice rifle is loved and "customized" a bit, and then falls into the wrong hands, where it gets un-loved and abused, then takes the next fall into an orphanage, or some carpet-bagger snake-oil salesman's wagon, who throws some lipstick on it, so everyone will see it's "real Value", which eventually lands it in the circus freak-show, where it becomes "Deluxe- Deluxe", and even comes with a bit of "real" history to back it up! ...
I'm always curious how a rifle, who someone must have loved and cared for at some point, and embellished it a bit to add more to their personal enjoyment, then loses the love, loses it's forearm, loses it's shine, and loses it's grasp of reality..., then gets sold into the Circus..., Cody has no records to tell You about those parts, and Enoch Tue definitely has nothing to say on the matter, ...
P.T Barnum knew the Circus trade, and concluded, "there's an ass for every seat"
