The stock features a captive swivel ramrod, a brass nose-cap, a brass barrel band secured by a spring with fixed sling swivel at the bottom, a lock-plate secured by two screws, a back-strap and pistol grip with brass cap that has a fixed lanyard ring. There is an attached shoulder stock which has a straight wrist, a straight comb, a sling swivel fixed to the toe and brass semi-crescent butt-plate. The pistol’s stock has scattered light-moderate handling marks, compressions, nicks and scuffs. The stock shows normal wear and is solid with no cracks.
