I don't have a decent picture on hand, but essentially a regular size Philadelphia 12-gauge forearm with about a 1/8 inch wide border around the lever and about the same around the outside and checkered all over. Just like the forearm for my early C-Grade --

except a couple lines-per-inch finer checkering. As you get closer to 1912, the band of bare wood at the base of the forearm (against the forearm iron) gets a bit wider.
