I wanted to share with the members my latest toy.  
This Underwood came out of the woodwork a couple weeks ago.  Could not obtain any direct history other than someone took awfully good care of it.  The trigger housing was so gummed up with dried grease nothing would move.
There are a few before being cleaned up photos mixed in.  Hope you enjoy looking at her.

Ten, KRO has the SQ S. I think his is the Park color.

Do either of these have a  .U. stamped leaf?
I have photo files Marcus shared with me of 3 or 4 early UEF's.
I'll look em up later to see how close. Those like these are beautiful !

Thx Guys

ETA, Can't seem to load the Pic. Google pics are a PITA for me

Some of it pertains to how a sight is staked. Some pertains to how clean and sharp the dovetail is.
