Looks like a nice lettered rifle. I would wish the swiss butt plate was on the letter. But suppose it could have been over looked.

In addition to the Swiss butt plate not being factory original to that rifle, the receiver frame & associated parts have been refinished (incorrectly). As originally manufactured by Winchester, the lever, hammer, and breech block were all case color finished. Further, I can see evidence of buffing wear to the patent marking and serial number on the lower tang.
