Boy, oh boy! What a treasure, for sure. Thanks for the look at it, Steve!
Any history to go long with it? Can you make out the engraving on the barrel and rear receiver ring, or is it in German?
Does that round slot-head screw in the LH side of the receiver hold the barrel in?

The fore end may be original - a lot of the Frasers I've seen have wood that does not match, like this one.
I see it has the Fraser peep sight - the little rack in there is quite fiddly to reproduce!

Yes the screw holds the barrel in place and everything remains tight,great bore, the engraving is Celtic rope style and very crisp. Fraser peep sight, single stage trigger. I have yet to pull the metal from the wood but maybe a Fraser patent trigger. No history sorry.

I have not. It is owned by a client and may be going to another client's collection.

Very nice SKB and thanks for sharing.
Is there a chance you could show a picture with the barrel dis-mounted as taken down?

Neat gun! Another Fraser to share with the board -  The peep sight really aids the shoot-ability as the front and rear sights are so fine. I hate to admit it, but I find the irons on some of the vintage rifles tough to shoot. The rear peep is real aid. The Fraser above is 7.65 Argentine.

Do you have a picture of the bottom metal by chance.
