Finish on Model 11 Sportsman?

[AZsnipe]

Can anyone tell me what the original was on the Model 11 Sportsman from the factory?
It doesn't look like a varnish, but since this is as old as it is, the shine may have just been worn to a dull sheen.
Was it an oil finish or a varnish or shellac?

Thank you.

The wood finish is most likely DuPont Duco.

Thanks for the reply. I am refurbishing an old 3 shot and wanted to know because I am planning on stripping the wood and applying a hand rubbed oil finish.
The citrus stripper I have will do the job, and not be too aggressive.

Thanks again.
