Good article, tks Art.

In about 1974, I sent a rifle with a butt plate identical to those, to my brother for his birthday. I bought it at Allen Lever's "Toys for Big Boys" store in Vancouver, BC.
It had already been 'sporterized'. I do not remember what the 'crest' if any, it had on the front receiver ring.

It was chambered in .30/06.




Will T. and I used to spend our lunch hours in Allen's shop, especially after his trips back to the UK. Back in those days Allen used to import used double rifles from the UK. I learned to love British doubles fondling them in that shop. With no new brass or loaded ammunition available for them they sold for what now seem like ridiculously low prices. I still hunt with a Watson Brothers 450/400 3 inch I bought there for approximately $400.

I am another who bought one of the Israeli sporterized Mausers in 30-06 from Allen. It was for my son as his first rifle and as a Christmas present. He carried it for many years while guiding out of Smithers for various outfitters. I believe it is still in his gun safe.
