M1 Parts Prices from old DCM

[MODEL3SW]

I just found this website and immediately joined. I see that you have many questions / answers, price questions on items other than M1 and all answered precisely and apparent you know your subject matter. I hope you won't mine me asking about 1897 WWII Winchester Trench Gun. After many years of searching for a CORRECT and excellent condition I found one but with one flaw. IT is without doubt real, correct and been blessed by knowledgeable members of Winchester Collectors Assn. The original stock (only the butt stock) had been sanded and refinished. When sanding and refinished the Inspectors stampings and cartouche were sanded out. Under high magnification we have traces of the stamp. I got this from an estate of a 90 year old man, more than 15 years ago. After all the poor specimens I've seen, the fakes, the put togethers etc. I purchased THIS one as it is absolutely Correct and original. Naturally, I'm seeking a late WWII (1944-1946) genre with US Military Inspector's Markings & Cartouche in EXCELLENT condition. If you have one or know of one somewhere, please contact me.
