I was hoping to buy that.. went for more than I wanted to spend on an unstamped Spiegel with refinished stocks. Was going to letter it, dang it.
Pointed out a few other Style 1's here in the last year. SN 376607, SN 376914, and a 30-30 listed as 1936 but no serial number given.
Lots of guns in the 30's were finished late, the few ledger pages I've seen have had guns scattered over a couple years. So with a sample of one, I'd hate to presume to move the date back. Glad to see somebody else is spotting them now!
