Hello, I have a 61 in short only. Serial number 99063, steel butt plate, triangular port, upper tang not drilled. With all the fakes is it real?

I also have two Routledge bore 61s. Serial number 45220 and 45983 They have offset proof marks, steel butt plates, drilled and tapped upper tang

Hello Gerald,

My first question would be where/from whom did you acquire these rifles.   The only one of the three which I have seen previously is 45220 sold on Guns International by Perry County.  The others are new rifles.  Can I ask when you also acquired them?
