Farrow Rifle at Auction

Rock Island Auction's 06/10-12/2021 auction has a Farrow rifle, Lot # 2927.  Quite nice EXCEPT the butt plate seems much too large.  Still . . .

Looked at it.  IMHO, it's a Second Model.  Photo doesn't show a hammer spur.  Virtually no info.  Listing cited an article on Mitt Farrow by Terry Weiland in Rifle Sporting Firearms Journal, but no issue, etc.  Anybody have that?

Thanks for the link.  I was able to read 3 or 4 sentences, left me scratching my head.  Has anybody read the article?  If so, please tell us about it.

That's the same kind of nickle plating that was originally on my 4th Model that spent a lot of time as a wall hanger until a few decades of dust & cigarette smoke ate it off.  IMHO, that's an original finish.
