This is the forearm the gun still has. Whether the original XE-Grade stock for BoWhoop was broken or Nash just wanted it restocked to match the very different pitch shown on the lower gun (likely 33050) in the Derrydale picture we'll never know for sure.


Researcher,

Lost ivory? Maybe it was in his pocket? Apart from the ivory inlay, can you otherwise tell they are different forearms? The current forearm is not numbered to the gun?
