Thanks so much for the info. Do you know what specific model this would be? There is so much contradictory info out there. I have added a picture of a barrel stamp.
Well, the model is simply FFV-HVA 1900 Grade III., a.k.a on very early models DeLuxe (Lyx). The recoil pad is not original as per only DeLuxe Magnum / Grade III Magnum had the factory pad. Grade III have no sights, MC stock with high gloss finish, rosewood fore end, jeweled bolt and most of the time "engraved" floorplate and depending on the period, QD sling swivels.
Standard (Grade II) is the same, but with sights and front hood, no jeweling on the bolt, oiled stock, no floorplate "engraving"
