Just an update (to those interested) on this "project". Taking kuduae's suggestion I decided to "save" the stock. First step was to strip (no sanding) that old dark finish to expose the past fixes and the somewhat unusual graining. It turned out to be only partially split at the wrist and a crack behind the rear tang, both repaired - quite well IMHO. The checkering was in good shape once cleaned up - no need to redo any part of it. Had to add some pieces to the fore-end tip as that were completely missing. The cleanup exposed the four holes on the left side used to attach the warning shield and the remnants of the stamp code are just visible but not readable. Also found two small holes just behind the cheek piece, what they were used for I don't know. I know some may wince at my efforts but as I stated before most of the original finishes (metal & wood) are long gone. --- John303.
