Early Rock Island 1903

[boomer656]

I came into possession of this rifle a little while back, and now that I've gone through it I'd like to get the comments and thoughts of the experts.

I would like to point out that I've done nothing to this rifle other than a light surface cleaning and oiling as I took it apart and checked it out. It clearly has been well cared for by its previous owners. Sadly, at some point, the stock was cleaned 'vigorously' enough to remove much of the cartouche. By looking at the cartouche at various angles, I'm fairly certain it is a Conrad Nelson, but the seeing the date is beyond my abilities.

I will be posting more photo's in a little while. Please let me know if there is a specific photo or close up you would like to see.
