I picked up a couple 70 prefix 3 digit straight stock M77's. Seems like most of them have rather plain stocks but this one is a beauty. Just getting into these and early No. 1's and it's a ton of information to digest learning all the differences.
Very nice all my flatbolts have pretty plain stocks not unusual to find pin knots yours almost looks refinished could just be the pictures
