cb: thanks for to offer to post the pics. & every one for their input, I will forward them asap. Since my last posting I've dismantled the gun, metal is very good with a insignicant rust spots, the locks are beautiful & polished to a mirror finish. The stock is a mess, a previous failed repair is evident. At the very least I will put it back together for a pattern.
The good news is that while cleaning the locks (Cadet) I found T. Woodward within the scroll engraving in very tiny script no wonder it was easily missed.
Where on the scale are Woodwards, best, middle etc. and possible value range, ignoring the broken stock. I want to get a feel for the whether to repair / replace the stock. Tough ? I know. --- John Can.
