Factory acid etch Number 1 rifles

[chet15]

Does anybody have pics of the 1A-Etch A or 1A-Etch B Number 1's in .30-06 that Ruger made small batches of many years ago? Thought I had pics saved of those but apparently not. I'm curious if the 1A 7x57 that was recently sold at Poulin with acid etch frame and WBR hand engraved initials had the same etch patterns on the left and right side as the .30-06's. I know the WBR 7x57 is in the same sn range as the etch -06's.

I know this isn't exactly what you are referring to, but I believe this has similar acid etch engraving also….

I have one. This is the text from the Gunbroker ad when I bought it:

And here are a few of the photos:

The wood looks better in person.
