![]() I measured at least twice on the forend, which is tough due to the small size of the diamond, and several on the grip. I had problems as I can’t hold the ruler still (some of you know why). 32-40 and measured the LPI of its style I checkering. TimĬlarence and others, I got curious so got my 1898 vintage model 1894, semi-deluxe in. I no longer recall but it should be either 22 or 24 lines per inch checkering. What he would be missing is the lines per inch. A good checkerer should be able to work with that alone, I would think. Good, black and white images of the checkering patterns including the I pattern. For a pictorial, look at the Madis book in the back. The rifles in my collection with the I pattern all are pistol gripped so the pattern would have to be modified for a straight grip. Note the simple diamond of checkering on the forearm and the less extensive coverage and pattern on the grip. ![]() ![]() Their estimate is based on being “deluxe” and the actual aspect of its being semi-deluxe (Yes, Bert, just common terms not used by Winchester) should have a lower estimate but that won’t change the bidding no doubt. It unfortunately is described as “deluxe” but it has plain wood (pistol gripped, tho) with the I pattern checkering. There is a semi deluxe 1895 flat side up for auction at Rock Island Auction. ![]()
