Manufactured in 1908. The receiver, trigger guard and forend cap have been engraved with scroll and floral designs, and a deer on the left side of the receiver and a duck on the right side. The top of the receiver is engraved with the monogram "RJR" in an oval panel with a stippled background. These initials stand for R. J. Reynolds, the tobacco millionaire. The top of the barrel ahead of the rear sight is marked with the two line Winchester address/patent dates and "-WINCHESTER - TRADE MARK - / MOD. 1903 22 CAL. AUTOMATIC" behind the rear sight. The right rear of the barrel is marked with unrecognizable proofs and a series of numbers. The matching serial number appears on the trigger guard plate and frame.
