Hi mate, The Gun looks kinda nice man...The wood looks like it might be nice, but what is wrong with the stock?, can't see any cracks or worse.Can't see the engraving very well, but looks like a decent shotgun cheers franc

Yes, the crack starts at the bottom tang and goes right around the wrist of the stock to the bottom of the tang on the other side. Pretty much cracked through. I have someone in mind for the repair. Here are a couple of more pics of the engraving.

Brian, can we get a good look at the wood of the stock. I want to get a sense of how it may turn out once you have repaired the crack and refinished the stock. Know you are doing that! LOL

I feel the proofmark is an h and therefore 1929 http://www.shotguns.se/html/belgium.htmlVery similar in proofmarks to mine

Yes, I thought perhaps it was an h but I wasn't quite sure when comparing it to the chart . But 1929 certainly fits the gun.
