1927 and 1957, respectively, on the Proofhouse list.
Bert H. on the Gunbroker board warns that these charts are not very accurate and you will get the best information only by writing the Cody Museum. Or maybe that board.

The checkered foreend on the 55 seems unusual.

Yeah I did a little research and it appears the buttstock has been replaced because it should also have checkering if the forensic does or vice versa

a bubba checking job.

Checkering is definately factory
