Griffin and Howe Schmidt and Habermann

Interesting new offering from Hallowell & Co.

Is the Schmidt and Habermann falling block action well regarded? This appears to be one of those early G&H offerings with a Bavarian style stock. The wood to metal fit seems a little sloppy where the forend meets the front of the action. Serial number of 303 would place it around the mid to late 20's, but I think I have seen at least one other single shot G&H rifle with this same serial number. I believe it's because their early serial numbering system allowed for duplicate serial numbers. Also, I'm not sure the rifle hasn't been reblued. It does not look like rust bluing to me, although it may be the photos.
