All the information I can find does not show factory checkering on the forend of a 1949 era model 94.

I cannot put a date on your forend, only that factory checkering of the model 94 forend didn't happen until more recent times.

Its also possible my information is not complete. one of the things that collectors love (and that drives them nuts sometimes) is the huge number of variations that can exist and be "correct".

I don't THINK your forend is original, but I wouldn't put any money on that.

Good Luck!
