1A 30-30 with Circassian wood
Anyone know what the approximate production of the blued 1A 30-30 (model 11346) was, and how many may have left the factory with Circassian wood and more extensive checkering? I believe this was a Lipsey offering, but may be wrong.
Re: 1A 30-30 with Circassian wood
Are you sure that's circassian?
Looks like fairly strait grained black walnut.
Does the forearm also have Boddington checkering?
I saw a .460 S&W recently that had Boddington checkering on the forearm and standard checkering on the wrist.

here is the lipsey certificate, not aware of any with that checkering pattern. However, I have a 1H 405 win with that pattern, so it's likely the factory just using up leftover wood from previous runs...

No, I'm not sure it's circassian and also suspected it might be black walnut, but the color and grain matches my 1S-C 45-70 very closely, so who knows? The 30-30 has the full "Boddington" checkering pattern n the fore-end as well.

Thanks! I probably would have eventually looked up the Lipsey authentication, but thought I'd ask here first.
