Valman, Your buttplate sound as if it is original and proper for an I grade, minus the leather spacers of course. I was incorrect in saying SD&G was Shoverly Dales and Gates... it should be Shoverly, Daly, and Gales. Hopefully this was a minor brain fart and not early Altzheimers. Lefever claimed to use imported walnut on their guns, and my I's and DS's appear to be relatively plain English walnut.
