mid-1930's NM drift slide question.....

[218bee]

Would a M1938 -style drift slide (beautifully blued , with the flat top) be used on a mid-1930's NM rifle?.....Reason I ask is I have one which came to me with such a drift slide...It's my belief it was changed at a later date, as the rifle was probably built in 1936 or so...and these drift slides weren't on the scene till 1938, I presume?.... but just wanted to run this by you guys...before I change it to a 1905-style....(Maybe it's correct?, but Brophy's NM section makes no mention of it, except for a quick description)....Sorry about the above description, but here's a pic...
It is blued, and looks great on the polished ladder/slide....It also has a polished N.S. bolt and a reversed safety....All in a SA/SPG NM pre-war C stock w/coarse NM buttplate...
regards.....
