Bert, For your records.  I have a 1948 Winchester Model 71 Deluxe that is in NRA 99% condition.  I suspect unfired.  Serial# 26752  It appears to have come from the factory with the folding rear sight and a Redfield 102 rear peep.  Grip cap is checkered steel.  Is this a configuration from the factory that you have come across before?  

Hello Wade,

No, it is not.  More specifically, the checkered steel grip cap is not an Winchester item.  I suspect that the folding rear sight on the barrel is a Lyman No. 6, and if that is the case, the Redfield No. 102 is unlikely to be factory original.  Can you send me pictures of the rifle and the sights on it?
