My ShtLE MkI*** was built by Sparkbrook in 1904. All numbers are matching, but, it has a later type of rear handguard and rear sight protector. I have had the rifle for 44 years. The bore is excellent. The stock and front handguard wood nicely match. It has some arsenal wood repairs. The magazine appears original to the rifle. Serial# is CR814. The rear sight was replaced and its number cancelled. Barrel is marked 'HV' behind rear sight. The rifle still has the 'volley sights'. A good honest well used rifle.
