Hello, I am new to the forum and hope someone can help. I just picked up another model 97 take down and the top of the reciever on this one is matted. Haven't seen this. The slide is marked model 97 the serial # dates it 1940. From what i have read matted recievers where on trap models but the bolt is not marked trap thank's Gary

  Hello brier-49...
  
  Circa 1903, and it should have a "C" above the serial number. Is it a solid frame or Takedown?
  
  If you want to know the exact DOM, contact the Cody Firearms Museum - http://www.bbhc.org/firearms/records.cfm , they have the original factory ledgers for serial numbers 34,051 - 377,999.
