It's all factory.....told ya.
I'd say 1899A Short Rifle with a T/D option.
Never seen a short rifle with that buttplate on it yet though. Seen some special order guns with that buttplate just never a short rifle yet. I've got the same gun same caliber just without the T/D.
If I were in your shoes I'd spend the money on that gun and see what the records say about it. If theres a work order number with the factory letter then something was done to it at the factory.
Only thing I can see right now that isn't factory is the front sight and I imagine down the line it was changed to use the peep sight better. The bead on that front sight would be better for a peep sight instead of the factory german silver is.
Very nice gun, you did good.
