I agree, I have 2 Model III’s one is nearly 98 years old (10/1927) and was rebuilt last year, the other is tore down at the moment made in 1932 and I have a Model 1 (12/1935) it is rebuilt as well. Attached are pictures of my working model III and model 1.

Here is my S60’s sister rifle the BSF 55N imported by Wischo

The blueing was there for the most part, cleaned it up with 0000 steel wool and light oil, washed it down and touched up with birchwood extra cold blue. Yes the finish is tru-oil, pretty sure that walnut stock would cleanup great.

If I didn’t give this info to you here is my JNC stamped 124

It’s a 102 if it takes a .22 pellet or a 104 if it takes a .177. All my 102’ are early models with no screw and checkered stocks, not exactly sure when they added the screw to the housing cover I assume some where around late 1929 and appears to be used through at least 1941. Also the ones with...

Here is a 102 I repaired and restored last year.
