I have a weakness for pistol grip Winchesters with no checkering, but, to be semantically correct, I don’t think these are deluxe, but semi deluxe.
Also, while I like the rifle, the sheen and stain of the wood suggests to me it might be refinished—I sure hope I’m wrong! Can you post close up photographs of the wood and wood to metal junctions so we can see for sure?
The shine on the wood is My inferior lighting, It ain’t been re-finished. We’ve had this discussion before ,(deluxe or semi deluxe) and the concensus then was straight grain wood was semi deluxe and xxx wood was deluxe, how ever the letter says “fancy pistol grip etc.” , which I believe is the correct terminoligy.
