RMC,this is close to what I have. My wood might be a grade higher. I now have a clarification as to my model (I think). The action is marked "matted rib" and I now realize that this is the model. Also, came across some information that indicates that since the serial # is composed of four letter that my gun was made in the 1940's to about 1950. Do you know if the "Champion" and the "Matted Rib" are two distinct models? At any rate I bought the gun for the quality of the wood. I am amazed that wood of such quality was used for some of these guns.
Regards,
Max
