Did Winchester use this checkering pattern very often on their deluxe low walls?

That is not factory original checkering.  What is the serial number on that rifle?

That’s what I thought as well but this looks like a very straight low wall with special features.  Only thing that looks out of place are the Marbles sights.  Serial #96829.  What does the serial # bring up in the ledger?

It was originally a 25-20 S.S. with a 28-inch No. 1 round barrel, plain PG, standard crescent butt.  It has been completely reworked.
