Rick - Thank you very much for the information. The stock is indeed the only thing that appears to be modified. It was shortened on the fore end a slight bit. The modifications must have been made by a gunsmith right after my great uncle purchased it.

Steve - I am well aware of how to handle collectors firearms, but thanks for the advice. It will never see any abrasive to clean it up and there will be no modifications made. I might fire it occasionally with my Greek HXP, though!

It will be cherished and cared for properly until the time I have the opportunity to pass it on. I'll probably pass it onto my nephew as my uncle and my uncle's uncle has in the past!

If anyone else has anything else they'd like to share about it, I'm very interested.
