Now that the smokes cleared, what thoughts do you have concerning This Sporter ?

Not mine and I don't know who got it. It is the first time I can recall seeing a grip cap done in this manner and wondered if it, the overall style and the use of the tapered cover on receiver/barrel junction helped identify the maker. I've see the cover on Krags and know they were sold commercially, but hadn't seen one on a 1903.
