The .375 definitely was stamped ".375 H&H", and definitely did come in with a new shipment. I was already into #1's by that point - Dad had 4 or 5 by then as well. The shop manager was also a #1 afficianado, and we all knew the difference between the 375 Win & .375 H&H

Sort of related to this thread smile In the early 1990's, in San Angelo, TX, I saw one #1B in .220 Swift that had the best wood I had ever seen on any #1, with both buttstock & forend full figured walnut. I was driving through at the time on the way to my deer lease in West Texas. I was tempted, but couldn't buy it. Saw it again two more times, finally stopped in with enough cash to buy it - and of course it had sold. How stable that wood was is anybody's guess, but it's still one I remember smile
