Again thanks for the continued help - didn't realize you were on this site also or I would have given you credit for the info.

What I don't like is the shiny finish. It also covers up most of the cartouches. My other milsurps are nicely finished, in MYHO with Linspeed and a lot of rubbing.

FWIW - You can try rubbing the shiny wood finish with linseed oil and pumice to dull the sheen to a mat finish.

removed shellac - sorry about quality of pictures. Actually broke phone.

Way better with a matt finish...looks like business now.

Thanks, Jim,

Glad you are out there ! Could read the cartouche but doesn't really show - bubba had sanded. Shows 1901.
