Has the action body been re-numbered to match the bolt body?? Reason I ask is the maltby roll stamping on this one seems to be in the same spot like the higher serialized 41 dated ones I've noted. From what I've seen the real early ones are further forward. Moving rearwards as the serials get higher. I've seen 3 different positions now.
There was something bugging me about the front pad & I couldn't quite put my finger on it.......it is the lower corners - they are usually more obviously rounded. They are quite squared off on this particular rifle. Very nice looking piece though, all the same.
