Original HW ?

I am looking at a HW with DST and I need to know if it is original or a later copy of some sort what do I look for ?
It is a early model flat spring so there are no markings on the top of the receiver, the DST has been instalet at a later date so it has no S/N.

If the triggers are products of Ben Rice, IMO it's frequently almost impossible to tell the difference. I've had several sets made by him and sometimes found it hard to believe that he didn't use original parts.
I'd have to see the tang to be sure.

Hi Joe
Yes it is not easy to se the difference I have a set on my low wall but on the originals there are usually markings on the side of the tang for wood grade etc. but this is not possible to se when the wood is on.

Michael,
JMHO, but unless you are trying to get the thing to "letter," I wouldn't worry about what was original and what was not... as long as the parts fit together and work and seem to be of good quality. If it has been built up, it's no longer original anyway, so I would just be looking for the parts/features I want.
As for the DSTs perhaps being from Ben Rice rather than Winchester... I now have three sets of Ben's and would not ever be concerned about having them. Like JD said, "it's frequently almost impossible to tell the difference." Rest easy and enjoy!
