Doug,
If it is a Field grade LONGRANGE I do not believe the Beavertail is original. If it is it would be numbered to the gun. Jim's Book L C Smith Production Records only list 1 Field Grade as having a Beavertail. In the Rodchester Ordnance Smiths section is does not list Beavertail forend as an option. If it were me I would put a small deposit down and order a Research Letter before I buy it! Dr. Jim May even see this an comment if he has the complete serial number.
