Thanks Michael, I have seen a very similar checkering pattern on a shelhamer stocked 03 that was in a Neidner add, Jan. 1929 American Rifleman I think, may-be 1926. The size of the stock is very scaled down, Fits a 10 year old child about right. Makes it tough to compare to anything else. Forend and grip are made of horn. Same dark finish as the picture you posted. Dan.
