Walnut military stock carved with "J.W" initials and spliced at the forward band with the section closest to the muzzle replaced. Standard Charleville-styled iron mounts. CONDITION: Good. Metal components have been cleaned to a silvery golden patina with evidence of pinprick oxidation throughout. Stock has been refreshed.
