Early Flatside Forearms don’t have the Ebony inlays. That said the wood finish appears to have been re-done or messed with. The checkering doesn’t look to be factory. I would think the caliber marking should say 30 U.S. not 30 ARMY. Or at least the barrel is a much later barrel way past a 1897 R&R. But then again you do have double proof marks on the gun. So possibly another R&R took place at a later date. Some of the screws look new and looks like there may have been some re-bluing done. Looks like a nice shooter Flatside.

Those are some things I notice in my humble opinion, granted I’m not an expert. If you want an honest appraisal or fair value, I would post more pics showing more details. With some more overall photos, like the receiver, etc. I’m sure more knowledgeable folks will chim in.

Sincerely,
Maverick
