Ryan,

Excellent! You nailed it! Thank you.

Now the follow-on questions . . . Did La Bantchni do both stock work and metal work or only stock work? Any idea if he was in anyway associated with Pachmayr? (I am just trying to figure out why the catalog listed this as a Pachmayr custom gun. Other than the Pachmayr rubber butt, I haven't found the linkage, if there is one.)

Again, thanks for insight on the stock inscription.

Ken
