Hi John303, the stock does not look too bad to me. Apparently the right side of the butt was thoroughly sanded to remove the military markings, the area appears to be dished or flattened in your photos. Nevertheless I would try to retain it: repair the broken or split wrist using glass bedding compound and perhaps crosspins, glassbed the recoil lug area (a frequent cause for a split stock), make and fit a new wedge to the foreend slot and carefully refinish it. The stock shows a lot of history, scrubbed and misused as it is. To find another, better sporter stock still with the military markings is hopeless IMHO, as these pre-WW1 sporters with a fighting career are now rarer than hen's teeth.
