  Enzo, no letter stamp, according to Fjestad and what i found on the web, octagonal barrel checkered butt stock made in Utica should be pre WW2 , post WW2 round bbl. plain stock made in Mass. I dont know what i have, made in utica, checkered butt, and round bbl.

  It's defiantly a 29A, interesting info, some 29A with the Octagonal had the receiver stamped 29 and the bbl. hand stamped with an "A" . I dont know the history of this gun, I bought it at a garage sale for $5.00 not working as a parts gun, when i cleaned it up it worked perfect . Is it passable this is a transition gun, where they had a new round bbl. and mated it with an older receiver and checkered but stock ?

  I've got a Model 29 (no A) with an octagonal bbl.  I put a peep tang sight on it.  It's a fine rifle.  Also have a Meridan of nearly the same design.  I don't know the history of the 29, but you can look it up.
