Errrr, not of the top of my head.....I'd have to look in the John Walter books to confirm.

I recall the non-carbine 80 was out way before then, as was the HW35 and 35E, but not sure about the 'Safari'(?).

I've seen HW35's with green laminated stocks, but don't ever recall seeing one with a plain beech stock stained green.

The 35 Safari had a matt finish to the action ,the sales pitch called it Parkerised.

I think you have seen the 55 Jubilee or KLS Laminate which is blueish green & black .The 95 had a green laminate as well.

IJ has a Safari in his pics.
