Well I walked my father through a few steps over the phone and got some more info on the ..... it is indeed a numbers matching rifle!

- Breach SN# 6051
- Barrel SN# 6051
- Bolt SN# 6051
- Volley SN# 6051

We even discovered it has the original oiling can with the lid screwdriver & fabric in the butt ...... unfortunatly the fabric fell apart in his had as he reomoved it.

He is also going to try and get me some better pictures of the all the other markings & proofs he has found so far.
