Thought y'all would appreciate this piece of history. This is what I call an EARLY Model 8!

Tom Ramsey was kind enough to share these photographs with us, but we do not know who currently owns the rifle. Pretty cool huh?

Very cool.

Hey there Cameron, that's definitely the earliest m-8 i've ever seen. Very sweet deal indeed.
Thanks for posting the pics,
Roger

How I'd love to own a "single-digit" serial number 8 or 81! A collector's dream.

I Like the checkering, any chance of close-ups

Pretty Lady indeed!!

I have no way of knowing definitively, but my gut tells me this checkering may be a factory job...

I tend to agree; reference the "Grades" page photos under 8A this site...
