1903 from 1903

[Sav22]

Since there does not seem to be much activity here right now I thought I would post pictures of my most recently acquired 1903.

Serial number 77xx, first year production. This version was first shown in the a 1904 catalog as the 'Expert Grade', this is the earliest Expert I have seen (but I have not seen many). It has a few condition issues and the magazine is not correct for this early of gun, and it's seen some use, but that's what made it affordable for me.
