A couple of pics with the original stock:

I would like to find another stock like the one in the first post for regular use but I am also hunting an original style stock. Unfortunately I broke the stock in the first post earlier today, right after I got it all fitted and finished  :'(

I'm not sure what route to take as far refinishing goes. It needs the blade in the front sight tightened, a trigger guard, ejector, barrel bands and could use a reblue. Would doing all this destroy the value as a collectable gun or is it already pretty much no good as a collectable?

S/N 57942 if anyone is interested or if they have any interesting info about the gun. I believe this puts build date somewhere around mid 1897.
