original 35 age

[1984]

just got an original 35 it has a lot of checkering on the stock, has anyone an idea of age , it appears to be all there just requires a good clean and lube what can be expected power wise from this model.

Could be a 35B. There may be a date on the l/h side as you hold it just above the stock and below the scope rail in very tiny numbers. Month and year.

hi, looked where you said it just reads (Foreign) where you said the date could be,
could this be a late model of the 35.

At a guess I would say pre mid 1960s but dont put money on that.

If its got chequering on the forend like THIS (sorry about the naff photo) it will be a 'B' variant.

yes thats the one with checkering at the for end and with alloy trigger,
but this ones barrel cocking, rear sight the same.

The photo was of an Original 50B I have in my collection. The 35B has a similar stock - that looks like someone has been practising chequering on - but is, as you have stated, a break barrel.
