Hi Stu.
Thanks for the comment. I can't imagine how long it would take to decorate the stock in this manner. The mosaic is actually an overlay covering the entire stock. It looks like some type of paper mache substance holding the veneer to the stock, done in sections. The original owner of this gun would have to have been a person of substance, as it would take many man hours and be very costly. Thanks again.
Rick.
