Hi Kubur
Congratulations. Yes, it looks like it will need some work done to it. Considering it's current condition, it's amazing the stock seems to have retained all of the pearl inlays except for the area missing wood. The brass strap used as a period repair from a stock break at the wrist area. The thin butt stock with the wide wrist area combination making this a weak point in the stock design. Mine has a period repair in this area also. Never the less they continued to keep this stock design. Bit of a mystery to me.
Is the barrel rifled ? Every one I've seen is rifled.
