An excellent find John. We'd all love to see a more comprehensive photo expose' if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks for the comments, although she really is a tired old girl, to me it reeks history. I have attached some additional pictures showing the marks that I can find. I particularly like the Nitro Proof one, it's very crisp, and funny enough, this one was in Blue clay also
I have changed the nose cap, and put a different sight on it, New (ish) Butt, forend, and a different bolt (I didn't trust the one that was on it) but apart from another magazine, it is as found.
The split in the wood, I want to keep there, I have just re-blued the action and barrel, and it would glue back together, but I think i would like to leave "as is"
