With a Schnabel fore end?

Anyway it needs a bit of work and a few marks on it!
Yes. Both of my P-H Safari Deluxes have the same, and if you look at images online you will see plenty more like it. It's clearly original. I rather like the style myself.
No shortage of dings and scrapes on it either, I can assure you!
 
From memory none of my safaris had the Schnabels FE`s.
I have no original stocks left now as they have all been replaced with foreigners.

Ah that explains it then.

I went out for a look last night and as I walked to my ute parked in the drive way I could see that the Western office side had a few rabbits enjoying the green pick towards the cattle yards. Sprinklers are deployed to maintain a green firebreak and of course the wild life love it. There are often Maned Geese picking the green as well as six Masked lapwings.

Two of the girls from my office! Amber and Peppa - not sure there are too many woodcock days with King Charles spaniels in the beating line. They do the whole day in a tough bit of Mayo.DSC_2667.webp

My old safari deluxe estate rifle had a different coloured piece at the end of the fore end and a white spacer. My PH lightweight had the schnable fore end.

my safari deluxe has the contrasting for end and white spacer, also repeated on the pistol grip, it was a classic look back in the day, I still like it, and it fits me perfectly, I have a very old Parker Hale catalog somewhere, I'll try to find it and maybe put up some pics, I bet the prices with be an eye opener for some younger stalkers eh. ;)

It would be interesting to see, thanks.
Pity old Brithunter isn't around - he'd soon set us straight!
