I have a very early Model 69 that came with TWO magazines . . .one of which is dedicated to the 22 Short.
BOTH magazines are stamped on the floor plate with the rifles’ model number.
How unusual do you think it to be, to have BOTH magazines in today’s’ 2025 world?
Were there any other models with floor plates stamped with the rifles’ model number? (I’ve never seen one.)

The model 69 came with 2 magazines, short and standard. The model 69A only came with 1 standard magazine which was changed so that 22 short would work. I think there was a significant number of short magazines produced and not that scarce or hard to find but nice to have both like you do.

Congratulations to the OP on connecting with what sounds like a solid find.
I wonder how many high condition model 69 (not 69A) rifles there are around that are still with their original box with most/all contents they originally shipped from the factory with…
I have an early 67 grooved forearm rifle that is in very high condition in its original box (which is in fair condition) but no paperwork, etc. remains.

I see that paperwork all over Ebay all the time if you want to pick it up for your boxed specimen! Pretty cheap too…
